Hi,

Bimal's advice didn't seem to work for me.  I have the following in my 
config file.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	    # Add additional arguments here
	    #
	     '--one-file-system',
	     '--exclude', '/var/spool/squid',
	     '--exclude', 'slocated.db', 
	     '--exclude', '/proc',   		
	     '--exclude', '/home/ckeil/secret',
	     '--exclude', '/home/www/k12ltsp',
	     '--exclude', '/lost+found',	
];

 and I have this up above it a ways:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} <http://10.0.1.250/cgi-bin/backuppc/BackupPC_Admin?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7bbackupfilesexclude%7d> = ['/proc', '/var/spool/squid','slocate.db', '/home/ckeil/secret', '/home/www/k12ltsp'];

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"/proc" isn't backing up, but the /home stuff is.  Could this have 
something to do with /home being on a different drive-partition?  What's 
the proper syntax here? 

Could someone run through the steps to adding a Winblows computer to my 
backup list?  

Thanks,

ck
