I tried several times to backup my server host, but backuppc seemed to ignore 
the exclude files settings. I want to exclude this folders from backup with 
their all subfolders: /proc, /sys, /media and /var/lib/backuppc. This is my 
current config file content: 

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/media/*' => [
    '',
    ''
  ],
  '/sys/*' => [
    ''
  ],
  '/var/lib/backuppc/*' => [
    ''
  ],
  '/proc/*' => [
    ''
  ]
};

I'm using Ubuntu and rsync.
Is there any error?

Thanks, for help.
