Chris,
I know that performance to an
external USB drive isn’t the greatest, but if you re-read my original post you
will see that my concern is that my excluded items are appearing in the
NewFileList file, which they shouldn’t be, at least not the way I understand
it.

Let’s get this straight here.
You are backing up a machine on your network to an external USB drive. I have
noticed major issues myself when network file transfer is combined with USB
file transfer. It just takes forever. I recommend trying an eSATA
solution if you want to use an external drive.

All,
I have had to reconfigure backuppc a little so that I can
get it to work with my external USB drive. This mainly involved getting
my external drive mounted as NFS, and also mounting it to /var/lib/backuppc
Backuppc will start just fine and I can log into the web
interface and see my client (local machine) and see the configuration
settings, both the global one and for the specific machine.
The specific machine configuration file is configured so
that ‘TarShareName’ contains: /var, /etc, /photos, ……and several
other partitions. I also have set the ‘BackupFilesExclude’ to:
/var/lib/backuppc.
When I start a full backup I notice that the file
NewFileList is creating entries for /var/lib/backuppc/* which is confusing to
me as I’d expect this to be exclude since it is part of the exclusion path.
I am using tar as the XferMethod.
Am I missing something that would prevent the exclude from
working ?
I am running backuppc on Mandriva 2009.0 and I have version
3.1.0-7.
