Hello,

I'm used the ssh/rsync transfert method and I want to exclude some files 
from backup.

here is the used setting  :

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = [ 
'/Users/garant/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*00224126372e.plist' ];

notice the  wildcard '*' in the file list...

but it seems that BackupPC_dump  stats the file  BEFORE to exclude the 
file from backup because there is a "failed to open" message...

---------------- log -----------------

there is a syntax problem in the BackupFilesExclude or it's a feature ?

I want to exclude all  files with known restricted acces  because I 
analyze the error file to detect the real problems of acces to warn the 
users of these problems

thank in advance for your suggestions
