For instance: rsync -aivd --no-r src/ /dest/src/ or a multiple source dir example of -d --no-r combined with -R: rsync -aivdR --no-r src1/ src2/ /path/./something/deeper/ /dest/ See also --files-from (which is essentially the same as the -d --no-R examples, with trailing slashes needed on the dirs mentioned in the input file that should include their contents). I can think of no nice, portable way to discover bind mounts, so I'll leave it up to the user to tell rsync which dirs to elide. ..wayne..
