[BackupPC-users] Excluding files from BackupPC

All,

I am having a major issue with BackupPC.Â I first tried using BackupFilesOnly to restrict backups to just the C:\Users directory, but I needed to exclude some files and since the first overrides the second I decided to try just using the ExcludeFiles directive.Â I am using the following.

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

Â #Windows 7 Specific

Â '*' => [

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â #7/Vista junction points

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Documents and Settings',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/ProgramData/Application Data',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Users/Users/Default User',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Users/Users/All Users/Application Data',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Users/Users/All Users/Desktop',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Users/All Users/Documents',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Users/All Users/Favorites',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Users/All Users/Start Menu',

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â '/Users/All Users/Templates',

};

I restarted the BackupPC service and I am manually running a backup using

/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f l-jwest17b.corpnet.com

I am seeing this when backing up.

I excluded the â??Program Filesâ?? directory, so not sure why it is still backing up.Â I also checked the backup location and it is indeed backing up these files.Â Any ideas?
