Rsync supports precisely what you want: place the following item into your RsyncArgs argument list (the name .rsyncPerDirFilter is just a name choosen for this example - but the space between the : and the name is mandatory, possibly needs to be backslashed).
--filter=: .rsyncPerDirFilter In each directory where a user wants files to be excluded, he can create a file of that name, with a content like - suchafile - /suchafile* - /suchadir/*** to exclude all files/directories that match one of the patterns (be carefull, rsync reads these lines one after the other and triggers on the first match it finds - later matches are not seen, even if they would be more restrictive). Have a look at the "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES" in the rsync man page. I found this slightly dangerous - you introduce a filter file and than forget about it or dont tell about it ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
