This question has been asked before
(http://sourceforge.net/p/backuppc/mailman/message/22459100/,
http://sourceforge.net/p/backuppc/mailman/message/31066154/), but I haven't
seen any answers, so I ask again, because this is something I really want to
understand.
The Documentation of RsyncArgsE
Got it, finallly - the include/exclude options are sent to the client via the
rsync protocol. From the XferLog:
Sent exclude: /trash
Sent exclude: /tmp
Sent exclude: *.iso
Sent exclude: *.rpm
This happens to both the RsyncExtraArgs and backupExclude / BackupInclude
options. So it's all fine.
... this works for both the rsync and rsyncd protocols.
