I hope this doesn't confuse more than help but I had a problem with the
"=>" share notation using rsyncd. The system ignored my exclusions. The
instructions say that this happens only if you are using smb (as I
remember) but not other transfer protocols. I switched to a streight
comma delimited list for the include files and cleared the problem.
Unless you have Windoz machines I don't think the share notation is needed.

Sorry I didn't mention the xfer method. All servers use rsync over

strictly, this depends on the XferMethod (which the OP did not
mention), but
the above looks as though it should mostly work. For rsync(d),
the '*/' in the
patterns is meaningless except for preventing '.deleted' at
the top level
within the share to match. Probably the same holds for tar,
but I didn't
check. As for smb, there always seems to be confusion whether
in-/excludes
need to contain slashes or backslashes. My memory seems to say
"backslashes",
but I haven't ever used smb XferMethod myself.
In any case, it should be possible to use wildcards and *not*
list all paths.
Again, the syntax of in-/excludes depends on the XferMethod used.

Holger
