The easiest thing to do might be to use the -R (--relative) option, like
this:

rsync -avR /abc/dir/*/toid host:/dest/

This will create the /abc/dir/DATE/toid dirs on the destination side.
If the "/dest/" dir begins with "/abc/dir", that part will be skipped.

If you don't like the extra subdirs, use an include file like this:

+ /*/toid
- /*/*

and a command like this:

rsync -avR --include-from=above-file /abc/dir/ host:/dest/

This includes everything in the base dir (by default), and only the toid
dirs in the one-level-deep subdirs.  All other files are unaffected.
So, if the date dirs aren't the only thing in the base dir, you'll need
a more complicated include file, like this:

+ /[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9]
- /*
+ /*/toid
- /*/*

Re: How to rsync selective subdirectories

2002-08-12 Thread Pepijn Palmans

for i in `ls .` do; rsync -e ssh ./$i/toid user@host:dir; done

I had some problems with using --include and --exclude to skip different
directories and include others when I had a huge number of subdirectories.
It always seems like the rsync actually searches trough those exluded
directories just to exclude them in stead of denying them from the
beginning.

Kind regards,
