Are you using SMB? The comments in the config.pl file say that either you can use $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} or $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}, but not both. If you specify both, the BackupFilesExclude is ignored, which seems to be your problem. One workaround would be to use an alias host(separate config.pl file and all) to back up the Eudora part, set up the share at that level, don't specify BackupFilesOnly, and use BackupFilesExclude to exclude Attach. Then remove it from the main config.pl so that it is not backed up there.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC v1.5 - Problem excluding directories from backups. I am having problems getting the 'attach' folder to be excluded from our backups. We are running BackupPC version 1.5. I have read the changelog of v2.0, and do not enough significant changes that would make me want to upgrade. (Unless of course this is a bug that is fixed in version 2.0) I have 'rm -rf' the /home/backuppc/data/pc/anelson4 dir to make sure there were no old backups in there. Then I placed the config.pl back into that dir. I told it to do a full backup. It's still backing up the 'attach' folder. Any suggestions? My BackupFilesOnly and BackupFilesExclude variables are listed below. These lines were from /home/backuppc/data/pc/anelson4/config.pl -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = { 'cdrv' => ['/Documents and Settings/anelson/Application Data/Qualcomm/Eudora/', '/Documents and Settings/anelson/Desktop/', '/Documents and Settings/anelson/My Documents/', '/Documents and Settings/anelson/Favorites/'] }; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { 'cdrv' => ['/Documents and Settings/anelson/Application Data/Qualcomm/Eudora/attach'] }; Chris Hozian Systems Administrator Information Technologies Department Book Systems, Inc. ch...@bo...
