If this is your exact command, then you're excluding the file "from='/cygdrive/f/.bak_exclude'" You probably meant --exclude-from='/cygdrive/f/.bak_exclude' (note the dash between --exclude and from). > # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # > > and my file where there is the list of excluded folders looks like: > > # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # > - /cygdrive/d/Software/ > - /cygdrive/d/Intel/ As you're specifying this file for --exclude-from, the '-' at the beginning is not needed.
