You probably also need some real excludes, otherwise these won't have any effect (everything is included by default). Presumably something like: exclude: + /etc/ + /etc/** + /backup/ + /backup/dirvish/ + /backup/dirvish/*/ + /backup/dirvish/*/dirvish/ + /backup/dirvish/*/dirvish/** - /backup/dirvish/*/* - /backup/* - /* Rules are evaluated in order. You might even need a "+ /" at the top. Paul _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list Dirvish@dirvish.org http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
