Backup Central

Are these options correct?

Daily full backups
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 0;

Weekly full backups, saving 4, with one week of daily incrementals: (These
seem to be the defaults)
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;

Monthly full backups, saving 1 with one month of weekly incrementals:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 29.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 3;

And another question. Can $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} be set with a wildcard
match (ie..."*_log")

Ok.

$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;

This will save at least 1 full backup, not 4.

Monthly full backups, saving 1 with one month of weekly incrementals:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 29.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 3;

Ok.

And another question. Can $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} be set with a wildcard

The interpretation of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} depends upon the XferMethod.
For rsync and tar "*_log" should work. For smbclient it won't work,
unless you compiled samba with HAVE_REGEX.
