Start with the basics: xferlog. You'll want to review your excludes in two ways. First, you'll want to confirm that they show up here: <snip> Sent exclude: Users/*/AppData/Local/Temp/* <snip> If you don't see that, or it's munged, the problem isn't the syntax or format of your exclusions, so much as your config file isn't expressing exclusions to rsync. Once you do that, you should see (or perhaps fail to see) lower in the file, lines that correspond to the regular expression: <snip> create d 770 544/18 0 Users/Administrator.Luffy/AppData/Local/Temp <snip> As you see from the above, this is NOT a match for the regex, but any files IN the directory would be. This happens to be what we want, since on a recovery of the user, we probably want to recover the directory but we don't care about temp files. We confirm below that no files within the directory are backed up. If we selected a more restrictive exclude, such as ending at "Temp", we wouldn't expect this line to appear at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
