exclude files from backup with rsync -b

Hi, is there a way to exclude files from being backed up when running rsync -b? Let's assume the following file tree: ./src/f1 ./src/temp/t1 ./dest/src/f1 ./dest/src/temp/t1 Now, I'm modifying both files f1 and t1 and run rsync -a --relative -b --backup-dir=/backup/ src/ dest/ Both ./dest/src/f1 a

Yet another include/exclude question

Hi, How can I include only *.foo and *.bar files in an rsync? To make it a bit more difficult: Those files can be anywhere in the directory structure. I've been reading and trying for a while but the best I got is all *.foo and *.bar files in ./ but none of the ones inside any directories. Cheer

--detect-renamed --detect-moved and -b

Hi, I played around with the combination of rsync --detect-renamed --detect-moved and -b. Given the following tree: src/dir/file dest/src/dir/file I renamed src/dir to src/dir2 and ran the following command: rsync -a --detect-renamed --detect-moved --delete -b --backup-dir=bak src dest ending up w

rsync hangs during --remove-source-files

Hi, I'm using the following command to move files from a to b: rsync -a --remove-source-files --ignore-existing /path/to/dir1/ /path/to/dir2 >> logfile dir2 isn't empty so I only move files from dir1 to dir2 that don't exist already. Every so often rsync stops in the middle and doesn't continu
