Hi, I am currently backing up a few Linux boxes, and a Windows XP box, using rsync (through a cron job).
Regarding the Windows box ( Windows XP (running Cygwin) <--> Debian Testing), so far I specify a few directories as sources in the rsync command line. I then use an excludes file to include certain directories and exclude others. I was wondering, can I just specify / as the source and specify the dirs that I want to include and leave everything out? (This would simplify my command line of rsync.) I have tried this as the excludes file (with source / in rsync command line): ############################### + */ + Documents and Setting/WinUser/My Documents + Documents and Setting/WinUser/Start Menu/ + Documents and Setting/WinUser/Recent/ + Documents and Setting/WinUser/Application Data/Mozilla/ + Documents and Setting/WinUser/Application Data/Thunderbird/ - * ############################### The idea is to backup only the directories mentioned above, and leave everything else out. But given these rules, nothing is backed up. I know this is a newbee questions, but I am trying this example based on the man page of rsync and seem to hitting this wall.
