Re: [BackupPC-users] Trying to limit my backups

Craig,

Thank you so much! That worked. I guess leaving out the ‘C$’ => was causing the issue for me.

Try this.

Craig

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [ 'C$' ];

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {

'C$' => [

'/Users',

'/ProgramData'

]

};

All,

I am having a heck of a time trying to limit my backups. I only want to backup the following directories on my machines.

C:\Users

C:\ProgramData

I am backing up via SMB. I have tried every combination but cannot get it to only include these two directories along with their subdirectories and all their files.

My smbsharename is C$

I tried C$\Users and also c$\ProgramData, but it choked on that

I then went back to c$ for the smbsharename and started playing with the following

BackupFilesOnly

And

BackupFilesExclude

Anyone have any idea how to limit my backups to just these two directories?
