The man page for rsync suggests that I should be able to write
-/ /home/me/foo
in exclude.foo and then run
rsync -a --exclude-from exclude.foo /any/path/ /dest/
and have /home/me/foo excluded, but I cannot seem to get it to work (the path is copied).
Does that syntax exclude absolute paths?
Best Answer
The exclude should look like this
- foo
& the rsync CMD should look like this
rsync -a --exclude-from=exclude.filter /home /dest
Hope this was helpful.
