Hi All,

I am trying to do an rsync and exclude a directory called

/home/CDs/Linux/Wine/wine-1.7.37

Problem: rsync sync's it anyway, including when I remove
the * and spell it all out.

What am I doing wrong?

rsync -rv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 \
 --times --inplace --copy-links  \
 --exclude '/home/CDs/Linux/Wine/wine-*' \
 /home/CDs/Linux/Wine /mnt/MyCDs/Linux/.


Many thanks,
-T




Hi All,

   'wine-*' was it.  Exclude is looking for a pattern.
I had imprinted path on my brain.

  Thank you all for the help me with this!

test run string:

rsync -rv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 \
   --times --inplace --copy-links  \
   --exclude='{wine-*,wine-1.7.24}' /home/CDs/Linux /mnt/MyCDs/.

IMAP client backup applications

2015-03-06 Thread Yasha Karant
My department is being forced by the university administrative IT unit 
to MS Office365 distributed server (cloud) email service, as I have 
communicated in a previous query.  We are now being advised by others 
who have been forced to do this -- but of course not by IT -- to backup 
all of our email.  I use Mozilla Thunderbird, incoming IMAP, outgoing to 
a designated SMTP server.   I have found


http://www.beyondinbox.com/beyondinbox-download.html

licensed for fee that claims to function under Linux, MacOS X, and MS 
Windows for this purpose.  There are concerns to find a viable 
licensed-for-free product that will copy IMAP folders and all of the 
contents thereof to a local harddrive directory/file structure and that 
can restore these same IMAP folders and the contents thereof back to a 
remote IMAP service -- thus guarding against loss -- up to the last 
backup snapshot -- of all email.


Has anyone any experience with the above application?  is there a 
licensed for free reliable, viable alternative, GUI preferred, for Linux?

You're on Linux. yum install fetchmail; man fetchmail should get you
pretty far.

Any IMAP system that can handle multiple accounts should then allow
you to move messages back, and forth, to multiple accounts: this was
built into Thunderbird, as I remember from some years back.

--exclude='{wine-*,wine-1.7.24}' /home/CDs/Linux /mnt/MyCDs/.



I am not real certain that the {} thingy works correctly.
Anyway, I only needed 'wine-*'
