I’m seeing this issue too!
I noticed that with 4.1.2 if I use the WebUI (CGI) to edit a host config that has an existing $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} set, under the’xfer’ tab, there’s a checkmark for the Override of “BackupFilesExclude”, but the CGI does not show the list of excludes.
Saving the config leaves an empty set:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {};
or (on a second test)
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => []
};
But the LOG reports, incorrectly:
017-05-12 10:44:30 backuppc changed BackupFilesExclude in host grover config to {} from {'*' => ['/proc','/sys','/mnt','/net','/dev','/var/log/lastlog','/var/run','/ais02','/backup','/export','/software','/oracledba','/syswork’]}
or
2017-05-12 10:52:00 backuppc changed BackupFilesExclude in host grover config to {'*' => []} from {'*' => ['/proc','/sys','/mnt','/net','/dev','/var/log/lastlog','/var/run','/ais02','/backup','/export','/software','/oracledba','/syswork']}
Please let me know if there's any additional information we can provid.
