Hi While trying to back up my homedir, i found what looks like a bug:
from /home, i do: rsync -CWavP --delete --delete-excluded \ --exclude=".phoenix/default/*/Cache/" \ --exclude-from=rsync-excludes \ myusername/ targetserver:/backup/myusername/ rsync-excludes contains (without [] lines): [start] #comment **.xvpics** *.swp [end] This works as expected, the phoenix cache dir is excluded, xvpics and .swp files as well. Now, if i try the the same except the .phoenix stuff moved to the exclude file: rsync -CWavP --delete --delete-excluded \ --exclude-from=rsync-excludes \ myusername/ targetserver:/backup/roth/ rsync-excludes now contains (again without []): [start] #comment .phoenix/default/*/Cache/ **.xvpics** *.swp [end] This way, the phoenix cache dir gets transfered. The other two excludes still work fine. rsync version is: rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28 I can provide more details if needed. greets, t. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
