Re: [BackupPC-users] 3.1.0 configuration problem

From the main config file (/etc/backuppc/config.pl):

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {};

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

'/sys' => [

'/myisi' => [

'/pifisi' => [

'/vol01' => [

'/dat01' => [

'/proc' => [

'/mnt' => [

]

};

From one of the failing clients (/etc/backuppc/failingclient.pl):

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

'/pifisi' => [

'/proc' => [

'/home' => [

'/mnt' => [

'/sys' => [

'/myisi' => [

'/dat01' => [

'/vol01' => [

]

};

Here's evidence that the exclude override is not being sent:

As you can see, /pifisi is the first exclude in the override settings.

Any ideas?

I recently converted all my BackupPC servers to 3.1.0 and even more
recently configured one of them to back up 5 brand new clients. The
problem is, BackupPC is not using the Override setting on
BackupFilesExclude and is therefore failing trying to rsync several
terabytes of Isilon network fileservers mounted on each of the 5
machines. I've reloaded the config from Admin Options. What else do
I need to do to get BackupPC to exclude those network filesystems?

All kinds of things may have gone wrong, if you've verified in the logs
that the excludes aren't being sent at all, I'd suspect something wonky in
your config files ... note that if you have $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} set
that it takes precedence over $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}, so this might be
my first guess.

If the setting appears in the individual configuration file at all, it's
overriding the main config.
