- --files-from is a specific list of files to sync. It is designed with
the idea of being generated by find.
Anyways, the other way to do what you are asking is:
rsync -azvi --exclude-from=excludes.txt --delete --delete-excluded /
user@hostname:
excludes.txt:
+ /
+ /etc
+ /etc/**
+ /home
+ /home/*/
+ /home/*/.maildir/
+ /home/*/.maildir/**
- - *
The -R (--relative) in my previous example was a shortcut for two
sources and one target.
