Hi, I am trying create a mirror of a certain directory, but only copying certain top-level dirs. I am running this command: rsync -vazn --exclude-from=exclude-file /opt machine2:/opt exclude file looks like this (truncated): + "/AKmtools" + "/Acrobat4" + "/FSF*" + "/SUNWspro4.0" + "/netscape4.7" + "/perl5" - "/*" rsync still runs thru the entire directory tree when building the file list. I would expect it to descend only those directories included from the file! Is this correct behaviour, or I am specifying something incorrectly?
