[BackupPC-users] Excluding directories with rsync

[Edward Janowiak]

Does anyone have any working examples of using --exclude with rsync? I've tried the following syntax already:

   '--exclude', '/var/tmp/',
   '--exclude', '/var/tmp',

Here's the appropriate section from the per-pc config.pl with the latest attempt at the bottom:

$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
        #
        # Do not edit these!
        #
            '--numeric-ids',
            '--perms',
            '--owner',
            '--group',
            '--devices',
            '--links',
            '--times',
            '--block-size=2048',
            '--recursive',

        #
        # If you are using a patched client rsync that supports the
        # --checksum-seed option (see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net),
        # then uncomment this to enabled rsync checksum cachcing
        #
        #'--checksum-seed=32761',

        #
        # Add additional arguments here
        #
        '--one-file-system',
        '--exclude', '/var/tmp',
];
