The important part of the man page on this is that exclusions are relative to the base of the transfer, not the root of the filesystem. An easy rule of thumb is that you should exclude the name you see when using the -v option (with a prefixed '/' added). I.e.: rsync -zqrlptgo --delete --exclude=/www/users/ftp/pub/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ /home/backup/gorgimera/home/ ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
