Hello from a rainy Barcelona,

I've just installed BakcupPC 3.1.0 from Sourceforge on a SUSE 10.2
platform.  I am testing backup with a SUSE 11.0 client.

Everything has installed fine, no problems setting up the CGI
interface, etc etc.

I've set the $Conf{XferMethod} = ''rsync";

I want to limit the backup to just one area on the clientfor the
moment "/home/robin".  This is just a standard directory (there is
only a / partition on the client). So In the CGI interface I set

BackupFilesOnly to "/home/robin"

Checking the /etc/BackupPC/config.pl file shows

        $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
          '/home/robin' => [
            ''
          ]
        };

There is nothing in the individual host configuration that will override this.

All other config parameters are standard.

However when I start the backup it tries to backup the whole of /.
Checking "ps -ef" output showed the following ssh command sent from
the server ....

/usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root robin-linux /usr/bin/rsync --server
--sender --numeric-ids--perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links
--times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /

No arguments for the "/home/robin" area seem to have been included.

Has anyone any ideas about why this isn't working??   I imagine i'm
missing something really obvious!

Thanks for your help!

Robin
