Re: Exclude

[Chao,Eisen R.]

Hi Folks,

I'm running rsync between an NT client and a Solaris 7 Server (Ver 2.4.6).

I'd like to be able to exclude the following directory:

        /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs

but retrieve

        /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG

My setup is:

        rsync -av -p -e [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/
F:/opt/IBMHTTDLOG
        (client)

        rsync --daemon --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude
        (server)


What I get is *everything* including the contents of the dir ./archivelogs.
What is the proper syntax ? I've tried setting up my entry in rsync.exclude
as:

        '/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs'
        archivelogs/
        'archivelogs/'
        ./archivelogs
        ./archivelogs/

I've also tried setting the server-side rsync daemon as --exclude
<blah-blah> to no avail.

Thanks in advance,
