Neither! This really confused me for ages. The share needs to be in the
first section, and the exclude within the square brackets so 
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/' => [
    '/proc'
  ]
};

As for the ./ or /, I always get there by trial and error if it is not 
clear from the help files.

If you are using the web interface, the share name should be in the 'New Key' 
and then you 'add' the exclude arguments.
