hi,

I believe the / are in the wrong direction; from my system.pl file

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '*' => [
     '\\Program Files\\Legato',
     '\\Documents and Settings\\NetworkService\\NTUSER.DAT',
     '\\WINDOWS\\system32\\config'
   ]
};
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
   'C$',
   'E$'
];
