hi,
i'm trying to use rsync to backup some directories of
my box.
i.e. i will backup the whole subtree /opt/ except
/opt/apache/ and except /opt/kde3. the rest in /opt/
should be copied to my external usb harddisk.
but i can't find a way to do this, because apache and
kde3 are always included in the backup.
here is the rsync-call:
rsync --backup --one-file-system \
--delete --backup-dir=/mnt/backup/archive \
--archive --ignore-errors \
--exclude-from=/home/thomas/backup_exclude \
/opt/ /mnt/backup/current
content of /home/thomas/backup_exclude
/opt/apache/
/opt/kde3/
some other versions of the exclude file i've tried:
- /opt/apache/
- /opt/kde3/
or
- /opt/apache/*
- /opt/kde3/*
the result is: the whole /opt/ directory is backuped,
including apache and kde3 :(
i'm using version 2.4.6 protocol version 24
do you have any ideas?
thanks in advance for your help.
thomas
