When doing rsync over ssh I'd like to be able to specify certain
filesystem types to exclude backing up. For example, I'd like to
exclude all nfs filesystems from being backed up, this way when I back
up a group of machines, mounting the same nfs share, the nfs contents
don't get backed up multiple times.

I can manually specify the nfs mounts using $Conf{BackupFilesExclude},
but this quickly gets redundant when I've got a dozen machines with a
dozen nfs mounts on them.

rsync doesn't seem to have any options to exclude filesystems by type.
Maybe there's something I'm missing?

The only thing I've found so far which is discussed at the link below,
which I guess will work but I was looking for something a bit more
elegant. :)
