Delete only affects directories that rsync has sent the contents of,
otherwise it wouldn't know what to delete. It sounds like you should be
using --exclude instead of --files-from, like the following (I made a
guess that the /temp2 arg from your original command was a typo since it
isn't leagal syntax to have two sources with --files-from).
Put this in a file named "ex":
+ cyrus.seen
+ cyrus.cache
+ cyrus.index
+ */
- *
... and run this:
rsync -quWae /usr/local/bin/ssh --delete --exclude-from=ex
/mnt2/sms/mail/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cyrus/backups/spo-ms
I think the trailing slash is what you want on the source -- only
remove it if you want the "mail" subdir to be included in "spo-ms".
