So I've gotten excluding paths to work as a standalone command. When I
paste this into a script however, it ignores the exclusions. Any advice?
rsync -aXvr --times --links
--exclude={'*.vdi','*.vmdk','*.ova','*.qcow2','.config/discord/'}
/home/path/ user@nas:/NAS/HOME/destination/
Are there supposed to be some kind of brackets around this?
Regards,
Matt Stevens

I lack development skills. Would there be a way for rsync to be passed an
option to exclude a specific path during a sync operaton? All of my attempts
to use exclude have failed, as it does not respect paths, only filetypes.
The existing --exclude and filter file options work for me for this.
Maybe show us what you're doing (command line), what you expect to
happen and what actually happens?
You absolutely can exclude paths. The exclude and filter options are
very expressive. I've been doing it for years.
Cheers,
Andy
