Check the man page, but I use the flag like --one-file-system so that
it won't backup any mounted dir...

Try:

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

The syntax says where I put the * you should specify the sharename, or
* to match all.
Where I put /proc is a list of path names to exclude.
