That's pretty old.

Rsync compares your anchored include patterns to file-list paths, which begin at the last slash in the source path and thus don't contain the /dir1 . Remove this prefix from the include patterns if you expect them to match. 2. The source directory itself is included regardless of exclude rules, so you don't need the first include rule. Here is the revised command: rsync -vbu --recursive --delete --backup-dir=/bkp --stats --include "/*.fle" --exclude "*" /dir1/ /dir2 Note that the exclude rule stops rsync from deleting any non-"*.fle" files from the destination. If you want extraneous non-"*.fle" files deleted, pass --delete-excluded .
