Hello list, I try to keep a list of directories/files on windows in sync with the ones on a remote machine. Basically syncing works fine, however I am stuck/confused with the various possiblities using include/exclude options. Your help is very much appreciated. Here's the scenario:
Local source dir: /cygdrive (seems to be required or else the cygwin-HOME is set) Remote destination dir: ~/data Local file tree to be synced, that may vary each time rsync is run: C:\test1\a1\ b1\ c1\ C:\test2\a2\ b2\ So I created a file "files.txt" containing: C/test1 C/test2 And then I call rsync: $ rsync -avvr --temp-dir=temp --delete -e ssh --stats --files-from=files.inc /cygdrive [EMAIL PROTECTED]:data This copies all the directories just fine to the remote machine. However, when I run rsync wiht a different file tree to be synced, say: C:\test1\a1\ b1\ c1\ C:\test3\a3\ b3\ The directory "~data/C/test2" does not get deleted on the remote side. How can I achieve this? How do I have to set the options so that any directory/file on the remote side that is not explicitly listed as include path gets deleted? Thanks VERY much for any help on this!
