Hi Leaw Follow the following steps 1) Make the file "includelist" and "excludelist" in any directory for example in: /rs/ 2) Make entries of all the Directories as follows in "includelist" (the files to be included) clock_speed dir1 dir4 dir5 3) Make entries of all the Directories as follows in "excludelist" (the files to be excluded) dir2 dir3 dir6 I tried * in this case.. but this excludes all.. because include and exclude works in conjunction.
4) give the command as: "rsync -avz --progress --include-from=/rs/includelist --exclude-from=/rs/excludelist ....... rest command follows.. please let me know the result after running this way...
