Hello - I'm using rsync to back up a rather large directory tree, but I need
to exclude some directories, including all files and subdirectories
contained within. I can't seem to get this to work. I'm using rsync in
daemon mode. Here are my config files:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/rsyncd.conf :
log file = /export/home/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
uid = root
gid = root
read only = yes
list = yes
hosts allow = 123.456.789.123
[static_files]
path = /raid/database/
comment = static files & directories for daily syncing.
exclude from = /etc/rsync_exclude
[db_log]
comment = Volatile database files.
path = /raid/database/production/db_log/
[2000_data]
comment = Volatile database files.
path = /raid/database/2000/data/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/rsync_exclude :
/raid/database/production/db_log/**
/raid/database/2000/data/**
------------------------------------------------------------------------
My script on the client:
#!/bin/sh
#
echo "`date` Beginning rsync of static files.\n"
rsync --stats --verbose --archive servername::static_files /raid/new_sync/
echo "`date` rsync of static files completed.\n"
# some code to stop my database will go here, then I'll
# use rsync on the excluded directories.
echo "`date` Beginning rsync of volatile files.\n"
rsync --stats --verbose --archive servername::db_log
/raid/new_sync/production/
rsync --stats --verbose --archive servername::2000_data
/raid/new_sync/2000/
echo "`date` rsync of volatile files completed.\n"
Thanks in advance for any help.
