That works fine if your transfer root is "/". If it is /data, drop the "/data" dir, if you are copying /data/web, drop both dirs, like this: --exclude "/backup*/" The names that you see output via -v are the names that need to go into the exclude file, usually with a slash prepended (to anchor it at the top of the transfer). Ending the exclude with a '/' makes it match only directories. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
