Greetings.  Me again.

I upgraded my backup server and configured two hard drives into a single 
logical volume with LVM for my TopDir, and successfully configured 
BackupPC to backup a share on one of my host machines.  Rejoicing was 
heard throughout the LAN.

Now, I am faced with the necessity of backing up my /etc and some of my 
user's home directory on that machine.

I want to exclude several directories under my user's home directory, 
but the information I've seen is all about configuring BackupPC for a 
Windows host. I am assuming I need to change this:


$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
  '*' => [
    'images',
    'Photos'
  ]
};
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/mnt/share'
];
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.1.106';



To this:


$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
  '/mnt/share' => [
    'images',
    'Photos'
  ]
 '/' => [
   'etc'
  ]
 '/home' => [
  'madams'
  ]
};
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
 '/home/madams' => ['/torrent', '/Download'],
 };
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/mnt/share', '/home/madams', '/etc'
];
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.1.106';


Is this right, or do I misunderstand this configuration?

Thanks.
