[BackupPC-users] yet another exclude folder syntax question

I’m using rsync to backup the /home partition on several Linux workstations and would like to exclude certain subdirectories in all profiles such as /home/[users]/Downloads. I’m a bit unclear on what BackupPC is looking for when matching items within a share.

Using the gui I’ve got the RsyncShareName set to /home and have tried various formats for BackupFilesExclude ‘keys’ such as /*/Downloads and /home/*/Downloads, both with and without trailing slashes.

I learned how to use BackupPC_deleteFile.pl, but these folders keep populating with each backup run.

Thanks!
