Hi all, I'm trying to backup a disk using rsync but I need to exclude some folder. I'm using rsync 3.0.4 under cygwin on a winxp machine. The script that I use is:
# ---------------------------------------------------------------- # SRCDIR=/cygdrive/d LOGDIR=/cygdrive/f BCKDIR=/cygdrive/f/Backup rsync -auv --progress --delete --delete-excluded --log-file=$LOGDIR/`date +%Y%m%d`.log --exclude from='/cygdrive/f/.bak_exclude' $SRCDIR/ $BCKDIR # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # and my file where there is the list of excluded folders looks like: # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # - /cygdrive/d/Software/ - /cygdrive/d/Intel/ - /cygdrive/d/Sysprep2003/ - /cygdrive/d/RECYCLER/ # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # The problem is that rsync is not skipping these folders. If I increase the verbosity level this is the output # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # [client] parse_filter_file(/cygdrive/f/.bak_exclude,0,3) [client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/Software/) [client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/Intel/) [client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/Sysprep2003/) [client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/RECYCLER/) sending incremental file list [sender] make_file(.,*,0) [sender] make_file(Documents,*,2) [sender] make_file(Downloads,*,2) [sender] make_file(Intel,*,2) [sender] make_file(Matlab_Fuctions,*,2) [sender] make_file(Personal,*,2) [sender] make_file(RECYCLER,*,2) [sender] make_file(Scripts,*,2) [sender] make_file(Software,*,2) [sender] make_file(Sysprep2003,*,2) [sender] make_file(System Volume Information,*,2) # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help. Cheers Ale
