In another thread it was suggested that I use:> rsync -avzh --delete
-n
I tried it and got ~200 error messages of form:
file has vanished: "/proc/10/exe"
file has vanished: "/proc/10/task/10/exe"
file has vanished: "/proc/101/exe"
file has vanished: "/proc/101/task/101/exe"

There is a good description here, how to exclude things:
