I store my music collection on my desktop and I'd like to keep my
laptop in sync with an exception.  My directory structure is laid out
like:

~/music/artist/album/

which contains flac files, a cover.png file, and a folder called CD.
I'd like to synchronize the flac files and cover.png but keep the CD
folder out of it completely.  How should I do this?

The thing that jumps to me immediately is rsync with a --exclude=CD

Man, rsync is easy to use.  I imagined something else.  Would
rsnapshot be useful in this case?  What are the advantages of using a
daemon instead of remote-shell?

- Grant

Let me get this straight. Rsync being easy to use is a downside? I've never used rsnapshot but judging by eix it sounds like it might work...
