[BackupPC-users] why are excludes sent to rsync when none are present in

Anyone know why excludes might be sent to rsync when none are
specified in my config file?

BackupFilesOnly has one key, '*', pointing to an array with several
values (/etc, /home, /opt/backup/stage/*/active,
/opt/backup/stage/other, and a few more). BackupFilesExclude is set to {}.

But in the XferLOG, I see

  incr backup started back to 2011-09-18 15:00:01 (backup #730) for
directory /
  Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -c blowfish-cbc,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc -l

--recursive --checksum-seed=32761 . /
  Xfer PIDs are now 28478
  Got remote protocol 30

  Sent include: /opt/backup/stage
  Sent include: /opt/backup/stage/*
  Sent include: /opt/backup/stage/*/active
  Sent include: /opt/backup/stage/other
  ...

and so on, then a bunch of excludes, like:

  Sent exclude: /*
  Sent exclude: /opt/*
  Sent exclude: /opt/backup/*
  Sent exclude: /opt/backup/stage/*
  Sent exclude: /opt/backup/stage/*/*
  Sent exclude: /home/*
  Sent exclude: /home/*/*
  ...
  Xfer PIDs are now 28478,28561

Are these excludes expected?

A directory I want to be backed up is not: /opt/backup/stage/other.
It does show up (as a directory) when I browse a backup, but it is
empty in the backup (while on the backed-up disk there are many
subdirectories and files). I just discovered this problem when I was
trying to restore a file in /opt/backup/stage/other.

AHA, adding the following entry to BackupFilesOnly '*' worked:

  /opt/backup/stage/other/*

Now that directory is backed up. But I don't understand why. :)
