[PVE-User] vzdump & exclude-path

[Dietmar Maurer]

The config you posted contains 2 lines:

-------------
exclude-path: 
"/home/httpd/www.habitants.org/html/var/ezwebin_site/cache/.+"
----------------

But that setting needs to be a single line:

-----------------
exclude-path:  "/home/httpd/www.habitants.org/html/var/ezwebin_site/cache/.+"
----------------

Hope that helps,

- Dietmar
