Assuming you are talking about files in a same source directory, you
can do:
- generate a file (KEEP_FILE) with the list of files you want
- call: rsync ... --include-from KEEP_FILE \
--delete --delete-excluded \
SOURCE_DIR/ DESTINATION_DIR
KEEP_FILE should have the format:
+ /keep1/***
+ /keep2/***
...
- *
leading / to match only at the first level
/*** to match any level of sub-directory (if keep1 ... are
directories)
