The easiest thing to do might be to use the -R (--relative) option, like this: rsync -avR /abc/dir/*/toid host:/dest/ This will create the /abc/dir/DATE/toid dirs on the destination side. If the "/dest/" dir begins with "/abc/dir", that part will be skipped. If you don't like the extra subdirs, use an include file like this: + /*/toid - /*/* and a command like this: rsync -avR --include-from=above-file /abc/dir/ host:/dest/ This includes everything in the base dir (by default), and only the toid dirs in the one-level-deep subdirs. All other files are unaffected. So, if the date dirs aren't the only thing in the base dir, you'll need a more complicated include file, like this: + /[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9] - /* + /*/toid - /*/* ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
