Hi All, 
I am new to backuppc and was trying to figure out how to exclude dir/files 
from a backup. I have played around with the GUI, setting 
Xfer->BackupFilesExclude  and  Xfer->RsyncArgs (--exclude="..."),  as well as 
directly editing the conf files (the global and the host specific ones) but 
without success. What I have tried to do is to exclude /proc but it seems I 
can't manage to get rid of it since the error log keeps complining about it. 
Bellow are some settings (I ended setting thouse directly in the config.pl) I 
have tried. 

FYI: Am using backuppc-3.1.0-3 on Ubuntu 8.10

Thanks for your helps!

#1
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
  '--numeric-ids',
  '--perms',
  '--owner',
  '--group',
  '-D',
  '--links',
  '--hard-links',
  '--times',
  '--block-size=2048',
  '--recursive',
  '--exclude="/proc"'

#2
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
  '--numeric-ids',
  '--perms',
  '--owner',
  '--group',
  '-D',
  '--links',
  '--hard-links',
  '--times',
  '--block-size=2048',
  '--recursive',
  '--exclude', '/proc'

#3
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/proc' => ['/*']
};

#3
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/proc' => ['./*']
}

#4
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/proc/' => ['*']
};

#4
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/proc/' => ['']
};

Thanks!
Vlad
