Here's how I solved a similar case. I had to do it on the client side.
I wanted to back up files less than 16MB on two raid arrays:
In the client's root crontab:
# m h dom mon dow command
0 * * * * find /raid4 -size +16M | sed -e 's/\/raid4\///' >
/etc/rsyncd.raid4.excludes
0 * * * * find /raid5 -size +16M | sed -e 's/\/raid5\///' >
/etc/rsyncd.raid5.excludes
50 * * * * RSYNC_PROCS=`ps -ef |grep /usr/bin/rsync | grep -v grep | wc
-l` ; if [ $RSYNC_PROCS == "1" ] ; then service rsyncd restart ; fi
The top two cron jobs generate excludes, and the last one restarts rsync
hourly to catch the new excludes if no client is connected.
In the client rsyncd.conf:
uid = root
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
use chroot = no
read only = yes
transfer logging = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
slp refresh = 900
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
[raid4]
path = /raid4
comment = Backup
read only = yes
auth users = backuppc
exclude from = /etc/rsyncd.raid4.excludes
[raid5]
path = /raid5
comment = Backup
read only = yes
auth users = backuppc
exclude from = /etc/rsyncd.raid5.excludes
