I already knew this.

In many cases, I am setting only excludes for a smb share. My excludes are
not working at all.

In many respects, my only option is to backup the entire hard drive. After
this, I want to exclude obvious things like the Windows and Program Files
directories. But excludes do not work.

And they also worked on the earlier version of BackupPC using the exact
same syntax.
