Hello,

I'm using BackupPC 4.4.0 on FreeBSD 13.2 and I need to backup a new Windows
computer which has 2 SMB shares. But there's a bug in the current version of
BackupPC.

The problem is, when setting up "BackupFilesOnly" and "SmbShareName" through
backuppc's web interface, it doesn't save the configuration correctly, it does
save:

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = (
  'Share1$' => [
    '*.a'
  ],
  'Share2$' => [
    '*.b'
  ]
);
$Conf{SmbShareName} = (
  'Share1$',
  'Share2$'
);


While the correct configuration should be:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
  'Share1$' => [
    '*.a'
  ],
  'Share2$' => [
    '*.b'
  ]
};
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
  'Share1$',
  'Share2$'
];


Notice the differences how the array are saved: "(", ")" instead of "{", "}"
and "[", "]"


Fortunately, there is a patch available, but there are no new releases since
v4.4.0 from 2020.
The patch is available here:
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/commit/2c9270b9b849b2c86ae6301dd722c97757bc9256
(add ".patch" or ".diff" to the end of this URL if needed)


There are bug reports here: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/466 and
here: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/472 (and some others one
linked in this two)

On my backuppc install, I have manually patched
"/usr/local/libexec/backuppc/configure.pl" and
"/usr/local/lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm" and the problem is solved: the web
interface works correctly and both my Windows' share are saved! :-D

Can someone merge the patch, while hping someday a 4.4.1 releasde is done?

Thanks in advance! :-)
