I have a question about using the include/exclude function for rsync.
What I am trying to do is backup specific directories and their corresponding data, while at the same time, excluding other directories.
Specifically, I have a backup server with the follow setup:
/backupstorage/D/...all the directories are here...there are roughly 18 directories.
So what I was trying to do was create a file that I can point to specify what directories I want backed up.
Here is what I was attempting:
rsync -avn --include-file=/home/rsyncfile /backupstorage/D/ /home/rsyncbak
It is a dry run of course. However, it still wants to backup everything in the /backupstorage/D/.
Here is a quick snip of what is in my rsyncfile:
/backupstorage/D/1999 TaxReturns/ /backupstorage/D/Appraisals/ /backupstorage/D/CLOSED00/ /backupstorage/D/CLOSED01/ /backupstorage/CLOSED02/ /backupstorage/D/CLOSED97/ /backupstorage/D/CLOSED98/ /backupstorage/D/CLOSED99/
Im guessing that im not specifying correctly in the file.
Anyone have any input on what im doing wrong?
Thank you.
Jason
