I know this subject has been discussed time and time again, but everytime I think I've figured it out, I get stuck again.
Here is the file structure, root is /: /var /etc /otherdir1 /otherdir2 I want to rsync the following: /var/spool/mail but nothing else in /var or /var/spool/ /etc/httpd/ /etc/mail/ but nothing else in /etc Do I have to do this for example? + /var/ +/var/spool/ + /var/spool/mail/ - /var/spool/dir1 - /var/spool/dir2 - /var/spool/dir3 - /var/dir1 - /var/dir2 -/etc, etc -/* And exclude every other dir at that level? Is there not a better way? Is this what the --files-from patch is for?
