Make sure you exclude the mount point for your back-up drive, i.e.
--exclude=/media/root-backup
_OR_ adding it to the command-line argument
rsync $OPT --exclude=$TRG $SRC $TRG
or otherwise you this could create an infinite backup loop that tries to
backup the backup plus it's backup plus....

I am trying to backup my computer to an external drive using rsync.
From / to /media/root-backup
The problem: rsync copies more directories than I want and it
copies /media/root-backup multiple times.
I have included my backup script and filter rule file.
Hoping someone will see the mistake.
Thanks
