I guess that this -/ syntax is not usable with --exclude, but only with --filter. Try thus to modify your exclude file to: - /pkg/* - /sadm/* - /cache/* - /opt/csw/cache/* -/ /var/apache2/* - /tmp/* an call rsync ... --filter='merge YOUR_FILE' Francis -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
