I would pretty much recommend that you specifically omit /dev and /proc
too.
Save the filter to a text file and make it look something like this (I
like the first one but you might not). + and - symbols should be
obvious.
- ~*
- /lost+found/
+ **/home/user/backup
rsync -vpa --filter='. /path/to/rsync-filter' $source $destination
I didn't think '-a' option indicates compression at all, only 'archive'
and you might want '-u' option for update.

So what would be the final command if I exclude these directory?
/lost+found
/media
/mnt
/dev
/proc
/home/user/backup
/dev
I use this sort of thing with a 500GB USB drive (automounted at
"/media/500GB-Drive" by Gnome):
#!/bin/bash
# Back up system to a specific directory given on the command
# line or a default based on today's date. Excludes the /proc,
# /sys, /dev and /media directories
MYHOST=`hostname`
TODAY=`date +%d-%b-%Y`
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
TGT="/media/500GB-Drive/$MYHOST-BackUp-$TODAY"
else
TGT=$1
fi
rsync -avXA --exclude-from=/etc/skipdirs.rsync / $TGT
with /etc/skipdirs.rsync containing:
/proc/*
/sys/*
/dev/*
/media/*
Tweak as you see fit.
