Or use the rsync protocol (not over ssh). Note that you can use -H with ssh just as well; running "over ssh" just launches a pipe to rsync command over an ssh connection, rather than connecting to an rsync daemon listening over socket.

Or is it possible to get a developer documentation for > rsync with the detailed info ? You could do that with --exclude, but first, think about the implications of that. Your users could make hardlinks to system files and those owned by other users files (which they can stat) and that would cause rsync to avoid backing up those files (by either name, since link count is shared between all links, of course).
