Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude directories - syntax problems?

[Guy M. <gma...@gm...>]

Stupid of me, I had not define the d: drive in the rsync.conf file in the
computer to be backed-up, sorry for that!
Last log shows both c: and d: drive were properly backed-up yesterday,
although the exclude are still not considered.
I then need to fix how to exclude these directories. What could be wrong in
the syntax here, any idea?
Config.pl of the PC:
$Conf{XferMethod} =3D 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} =3D ['cDrive','dDrive'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} =3D {
    'c' =3D> ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files','/WINDOWS/Temp','/pagefile.sys','hiberfil.sys','/RECYCLER'],
    'd' =3D> ['/Download'],
};
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} =3D 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} =3D '********';

Thanks for any hint!
Guy
