[BackupPC-users] Can someone help dbl-chk / fix this?

[Todd C. <to...@cu...>]

Seems like there are a bunch of messages re: exclusions these days.  We may
need to add the tried-and-true solutions (which appear to vary by backup
type) to the documentation, but until then, can anyone help ease my
suffering?

 

I'm using rsyncd and trying to prevent the copying of any temp files and
temp directories.  Here is the exclusion list I'm passing (which is not
working as hoped):

 

           #

            # Add additional arguments here

            #

            '--exclude', 'RECYCLED/',

            '--exclude', 'RECYCLER/',

            '--exclude', 'Temp/',

            '--exclude', 'temp/',

            '--exclude', 'TEMP/',

            '--exclude', 'Temporary Internet Files/',

            '--exclude', '*.tmp',

            '--exclude', '*.Tmp',

            '--exclude', '*.TMP',

            '--exclude', '*.DMP',

            '--exclude', '*.bkf',

            '--exclude', '*.rbf',

            '--exclude', 'pagefile.sys',

            '--exclude', 'hiberfil.sys',

];

 

 

The "Temporary Internet Files" folder is typically buried on windows in:

C:\documents and settings\userfoo\local settings\temporary internet files

 

Ideally, I'd like the exclusion to kill temp files at any depth..

 

Also, this exclusion list is not preventing .tmp files from being backed up
- any thoughts on why that is?

 

Thanks!!
