hi, I am trying to rsync a very large filesystem which is about 3TB, but naturally I want to exclude a lot of things. However, I am really struggling with excluding directories.
SRC=/dasd/december/2008 #Notice there is no trailing slash TARGET=/backup/december/2008 #Notice there is no trailing slash I want to exclude /dasd/december/2008/Data /dasd/december/2008/Logs /dasd/december/2008/Catalogs #NOTICE: I added a trailing slash for $SRC but nothing for $TARGET rsync --exclude Data/** --exclude Catalogs/** --exclude Logs/** --numeric-ids --archive --delete --delete-excluded --human-readable --stats --verbose --progress $SRC/ $TARGET.0 For some reason Data Logs and Catalogs are still being synced. BTW, I am using the hardlink method to keep snapshots. So before the rsync I am cp -al from 0 to 1 and removing the oldest Any ideas?
