Hi, I've read the manpage, but I got a simple question on the expression "base directory" used in the "exclude patterns"-section. When I synchronize ie:
rsync -avzu /home/gregor/ notebook:/home/gregor/ and want to use an exclude-pattern: --exclude "/foo", what is the base directory? The manpage's explanation is following: --exclude "/foo" would exclude a file in the base directory called foo Is the so called "base directory": 1) "/" the Root-directory, so that I have to use "/home/gregor/foo/" as the correct exclude-pattern (if I do not want to synchronise /home/gregor/foo on both machines) 2) "/home/gregor" itself, 'cause it is the _base_ of my synchronisation, for I used /home/gregor as my starting-point (starting-directory). Sorry for that question, but it is a little bit mistakeable (or I am so stupid). :-) -- Greetings, Gregor -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
