YES

That is exactly what I needed, John. That webpage was also an excellent reference. Between that and the man page i was able to customize it to my server backup needs.

Thanks again

Im bad at putting out scripts with anything other than simple commands. What I was looking for was a script in bash or perl that would allow me to rsync a folder...lets say /home/users to a space /backup/users while excluding any files with the extension " *.bkf" It sounds like it would be simple but I havent been diligent in learning my programming or scripting.

not really a script, but here:

rsync -av --delete --exclude '*.bkf' /home/users /backup/users

you may want to look at the snapshot article and scripts at http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/

Peace.
