OK, here is my steve.pl file

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName
--totals'; 
$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList';
$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -x -p
--numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C $shareName';
$Conf{TarClientPath} = '/bin/tar'; 
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/' => [
    '/proc',
    '/sys',
    '/tmp',
    '/media',
    '/selinux',
    '/misc',
    '/home/*/.gvfs'
  ]
};
$Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate $fileList';
$Conf{TarShareName} = [
  '/'
];
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
  {
    'hourEnd' => '23.5',
    'weekDays' => [
      '0',
      '1',
      '2',
      '3',
      '4',
      '5',
      '6'
    ],
    'hourBegin' => '8.5'
  }
