Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude directory having no effect

Thanks Les.

I've entered the share name as the "key" for the BackupFilesExclude option in the web interface, and then the following in the input box that appears to the right of the share name: "\@Recycle\*". It still seems to be attempting the directory, since I receive an error message of: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \@Recycle\*

I have nothing specified for the BackupFilesOnly option.

Most exclusion problems have to do with getting the syntax right. Are
you doing this in the web interface with the 'key' as the sharename or
'*' and the value the thing to exclude?

The other possible problem with samba xfers is that you can't set both
explicit includes and excludes.
