Re: [BackupPC-users] Excluding directories with rsync

[Trasher <tr...@x-...>]

Hello,

As for me I just use the following config.pl for my localhost using rsync :
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/etc', '/boot', '/var', '/home'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/var/cache', '/var/temp'];

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';
$Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'bzip2';
[...]

I don't remember if you must exclude the complete path or can use wildards.

Hope that helps
