So, following that template I'd like to ask the list if I'm doing this
right:
Linux Host:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/usr/local/vpopmail/domains',
'/usr/local/MPP/working',
'/proc',
'/var/qmail/queue',
'/backup'
]
};
Windows Host (using rsync configured to publish 'cDrive'):
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'cDrive' => ['/pagefile.sys','/Documents and
Settings/','/WINNT/system32/config/','/WINNT/system32/drivers/']
};
