Xcloner ignores exclusions

I've added a list of exclusions to the Xcloner default configuration. I have also saved the config to a new file (call it myconfig.php) I have tried fully qualified paths and shorter paths. I've tried manually running the backup using the web interface, and also by a command prompt something like:

> php4 cloner.cron.php myconfig.php

No matter what I do, the "excluded" directories are still being backed up.

I'm using 1&1, so a fully qualified path looks something like:

/kunden/homepages/nn/cnnnnnnnnn/htdocs/joomla_install_path

I have tried setting exclusions using the full path and a shorter version. For example, say I want to exclude some_big_directory, a sub-directory of joomla_install_path. I've tried both:

/kunden/homepages/nn/cnnnnnnnnn/htdocs/joomla_install_path/some_big_directory

and

/some_big_directory

to no avail.

Suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there! Have you tried adding the excluded folder only by name like

some_big_directory

without any trailing slash / ? Also, when making changes, always keep in mind if using custom configs that you should re-save them

Anyway, if you still have issues, open a support ticket and send us the your site ftp and XCloner admin details to check the issue

Regards, Ovidiu
