Thanks, Ben. It turns out that I needed a leading dot-star and
escaped-backslash (.*\\) to get it to work on my WinXP Home
boxwin0.09h.exe client.
Note that it would not work for me without the leading dot-star (.*).
For the record, this bbackupd.conf BackupLocations section seems to be
working nicely for me at the moment on WinXP Home:
BackupLocations
{
test
{
Path = C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\box\test
ExcludeFilesRegex =
.+\.([aA][vV][iI]|[iI][sS][oO]|[mM][pP][eE]?[3gG]|[mM][pP][eE][gG]|[tT][mM][pP]|[bB][aAcC][kK]|[dD][bB][kK]|[bB][kK][~!1-9]|[mMtT][bB][kK]|[oO][lL][dD]|[sS][aA][vV]|[sS][wW][pP]|[xX][lL][kK]|[cC][sS][mM]|[dD][sS][kK]|[oO][bB][jJ]|[pP][aA][rR]|[dD][bB][xX])$
ExcludeFilesRegex =
.*\\thumbs\.db$|.*\\history\.dat$|.*\\cookies\.txt$|.*\\~.*
}
}
Thanks again, Ben,
Pete
