Exclude lists have always been a struggle for me. It is GREAT to see someone's working example. (Realizing that my setup may end up different from someone else's.)
I like the idea of Michael Stowe's use of vshadow and his capturing an image that is backed up (please do not berate me if my description of Mr. Stowes work is slightly incorrect. I am still studying all this and deciding what to do. So, I make the previous statement off my memory. Which might be incorrect.)
Having said that, I like the idea of how cygwin does it "thing."
Thanks for your input!!

For what it's worth, here my info as well:
I'm backing up 8 hosts, including 1 Windows 7 host, since Nov 2014, with bpc 4.0a3
- Backup server: a small 3TB lacie-cloudbox (256MB memory!) - Hosts: 8 hosts since Nov 2014 (7 linux + 1 win 7)
The Win 7 host: - 900 GB data - incr every day (~30min), full every 4 weeks (150min). - backup with rsyncd (http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/3.0.9.0/) - very stable backup, never failed, no error (except a few locked files). - I exclude all junctions and have a huge exception list (see below).
Kind regards, Michaël

David,
On your W7 clients, what is your backup method of choice? SMB or rsync or rsyncd?
And what did you use to configure the W7 client? Cygwin? Michael Stowe?
Do you use "junction points" or do you have an extensive "exclude" list?
Or are you primarily backing up your "My Documents" only and not the OS?
