I always use an exclude file. And I sync different exclude files between
various servers.
I would put my excludes in a file.
My commandline:
rsync -aHz --delete --delete-excluded --force
--password-file=/etc/pootypoo.pwd --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude rsync://
blarg.yashakarant.com/hootyhoo /archivea/blarg_backup
My /etc/rsyncd.conf (on the pushing/pulled server being backed up):
------------------------------------------
# /etc/rsyncd.conf
#
# motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
read only = true
uid = root
gid = root
auth users = root
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.pwd
# Allow root access from primary backup servers,
# secondary backup servers, local nets.
[hootyhoo]
path = /
hosts allow = 192.168.122
------------------------------------------------------------
My /etc/rsyncd.pwd (on the pushing/pulled server being backed up):
$cat /etc/rsyncd.pwd
------------------------------------------------------------
root:@#$%sadf15H^
------------------------------------------------------------
My /etc/rsync.exclude from the client pulling the rsync:
$cat /etc/rsync.exclude
------------------------------------------------------------
/mnt/*
/archive*/*_backup/
/tmp/*
/dev/*
/proc/*
/home/CDs/Linux/Wine/wine-1.7.37/*
------------------------------------------------------------
Dig? You should use SSH as your shell for rsync so that your connections
are encrypted. This is only for a local, trusted network, as all transfers
will be in compressed cleartext. Right?
