Hi, I'm a happy camper @ rsync (and rsnapshot) since years. Thanks for this major piece of software.
In an attempt to reorganize my rsnapshot backups, I stumbled across an issue, that I'm trying to seeking a more sophisticated solution here. Given, I have a deeply branched tree, where I would like to include a specific directory deep under, while excluding anything else on that path, I find myself doing: + /some/ + /some/very/ + /some/very/deep/ + /some/very/deep/path/ + /some/very/deep/path/to/ + /some/very/deep/path/to/save/ - /some/very/deep/path/to/* - /some/very/deep/path/* - /some/very/deep/* - /some/very/* - /some/* While it works, it feels rather awkward and gets very complicated, if you have more of such items to deal with. Sure, I could run this separately, but this isn't the real McCoy either with a complicated tree structure. What are your favorite ways of doing such tasks with rsync?
