I just ran a full backup on share d. It should have backed up only three
directories. Here is the config file with username and password removed:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 5;
$Conf{SmbShareName}= 'd';
$conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/TSEPWin','/AscendFCU','/CitizensBank'];

The result was a full backup. The first few lines of the Xfer log are
(note the first directory backed up is not in the list of BackupFilesOnly):

Contents of file /storage/backuppc/pc/dc6mqf61/XferLOG.3, modified

Hello Dick,

You might also want to try the following configuration if you really don't want a full drive backup:

$Conf{SmbShareName}= ['d/TSEPWin', 'd/AscendFCU', 'd/CitizensBank'  ];

This should also allow you to add exclude rules, if you're so inclined.

Does anyone know if the behavior he's describing would be fixed by upgrading to 3.1?  I can imagine about 3 or 4 places where this could be going wrong, but I don't know much about the version differences.
