I would like to rsync the dirs "Documents" "Sofware" and the .evolution files only. and remove the *~ files
---------------------------------------------- Command: #rsync -r -n -t -v --progress --exclude-from=r2 /home/mt/ /home/mt/rsyncTest/ ------------------------------------------ #text file <r1>: + .evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics + .evolution/memos/local/system/journal.ics + .evolution/tasks/local/system/tasks.ics - *~ + Documents/*** + Software/*** - * ------------------------------------------ The only way to archive the ".evolution part" is to type "a line for each folder path" + .evolution + .evolution/calendar + .evolution/calendar/local + .evolution/calendar/local/system/** (this will work) First question: Is there a shorter syntax to get this result, and which one? Second question: If I want the .evolution files copied at the root of /rsyncTest/ (i.e. without the folder structure) what syntax or rule do I need Thank you. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
