Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem with $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}

I don't know if this is what you're asking, but i just did mine
explicitly and it seems to work:

$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
  '--numeric-ids',
  '--perms',
  '--owner',
  '--group',
  '-D',
  '--links',
  '--hard-links',
  '--times',
  '--block-size=2048',
  '--recursive',
  '--exclude',
  '/proc',
  '--exclude',
  '/mnt',
 '--exclude',
  '/mnt',
  '--exclude',
  '/tmp',
  '--exclude',
  '/media',
  '--exclude',
  '/sys',
  '--exclude',
  '/var/lib/backuppc'
];
