backuppc and samba

[vlade]

I have problem using backuppc and exclude folder directive. I use smb to connect to windows boxes.

Any suggestions. I've read documentation, used shown examples and just no luck.

tnx,

What's the exact problem? Do you get any errors?

What's the exact problem? Do you get any errors?

I use version 3.0xx on debian.
No errors. Using excludefolder option gives me headache.

example:

/etc/backuppc/Workstation1.pl
$Conf{SmbShareName} = ['backuptest'];
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'username';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'password';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {'/user3'};

I used forward and back slashes with no luck. /user3 folder is allways backed up. This is used in test controlled enviroment, backup meets our needs.

I'm not sure if $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} is for excluding files or folders or both...:confused:
