Re: [BackupPC-users] Trying to exclude a directory

This depends on how you've defined your share(s), and what method you're using. SMB has problems with BackupFilesOnly and BackupFilesExclude combinations, so if you use this, consider moving any "BackupFilesOnly" to separate "SmbShareName" entries.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = undef;
List of directories or files to exclude from the backup. For Smb, only one of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} and $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} can be specified per share. If both are set for a particular share, then $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} takes precedence and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} is ignored.
This can be set to a string, an array of strings, or, in the case of
multiple shares, a hash of strings or arrays. A hash is used to give a
list of directories or files to exclude for each share (the share name
is the key). If this is set to just a string or array, and $Conf{SmbShareName} contains multiple share names, then the setting is assumed to apply to all shares.
The exact behavior is determined by the underlying transport program,
smbclient or tar. For smbclient the exclude file list is passed into
the X option. Simple shell wild-cards using "*" or "?" are allowed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
