 Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2006 4:56 pm Post subject: rsync question. |
 |
|
Ok.. Im trying to write my own backup script using rsync, and im having a little difficulty understanding how to backup multiple directories without using a loop.
for instance, I would like to backup /etc and /home/thorpe, however I would like to skip /home/thorpe.mozilla and /home/thorpe.thumbnails.
Ive tried....
| Code: |
rsync -va --delete --delete-excluded --include="/etc /home/thorpe" --exclude="/home/thorpe.mozilla /home/thorpe.thumbnails"
|
but its just not working. Anyone give me a push? Im reading the manual entry but just not getting it.
Also, would there be a way to backup /home but skip say /home/user/tmp for each user? Something like /home/*/tmp ?
Thanks.
PS: Im not interested in using files as it seems --include-from and --exclude-from do.

Instead of
| Code: | | --include="/etc /home/thorpe" |
try
| Code: | | --include="/etc" --include="/home/thorpe" |
Same with --exclude.
Adding
will exclude subdirectories named tmp. |
