In an earlier reply I mentioned using a file to exclude things that is referenced on the rsync command line. I know that things can be excluded as an argument on the command line but I've been tripped up doing it like that in the past. I would suggest trying the following using your correct information of course. Create a file on the source node /home/rshepard/excludes.txt that includes the directory you want to exclude (in this case data no / needed), and possibly excludes.txt The following should do what you want as it works prefectly for me with my specific directories and excludes. rsync -arvP -e ssh --exclude-from='/home/rshepard/excludes.txt' /home/rshepard/ rshepard@salmo:/home/rshepard/ I have files with commands resembling the one above on several computers which have worked for me for years.
