Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup Taking Forever

I have cut and pasted what I believe are the appropriate sections:

My overall (global) config file is in /etc/backuppc/config.pl
Each clients config file is in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/clinet.pl

The is from my client config file.

$Conf{TarShareName} = [
  '/var',
  '/home',
  '/root',
  '/etc',
  '/email',
  '/shares',
  '/work',
  '/music/sonos',
  '/music/archive',
  '/music/temp',
  '/photos'
];

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

Please post/send a copy of your configuration file in (sometimes)
/etc/backuppc/hostname.pl or /etc/BackupPC/hostname.pl etc...

Without seeing the whole config file, or at least the include/exclude,
share name sections, it will be very difficult to help, other than to
say "You have an error with the configuration of one of those settings".
