rsync -avz --delete --exclude=**/stats --exclude=**/error --exclude=**/files/pictures -e "ssh -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key" someuser@server1.example.com:/var/www/ /var/www/
(The --delete option means that files that have been deleted on server1.example.com should also be deleted on mirror.example.com. The --exclude option means that these files/directories should not be mirrored; e.g. --exclude=**/error means "do not mirror /var/www/error". You can use multiple --exclude options. I have listed these options as examples; you can adjust the command to your needs. Have a look at
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to exclude a directory (and all file and sub-directories
under that directory) when using rsync.
I have spent two days on google, but everything that I can find there
involves excluding individual files, not an entire directory.
I have tried the following commands, but in each case the remove_dir and
all of its sub-directories and files area still sent to the remote
server.
1) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh
--exclude="**/remove_dir/**" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path
2) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh
--exclude="\*\*/remove_dir/\*\*" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path
3) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh
--exclude="/local/path/**/remove_dir/**" /local/path/
$user@$host:remote/path
4) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh
--exclude-from=/path/to/exclude_file /local/path/ $user@
$host:remote/path
and the /path/to/exclude_file contains:
# don't include these files/dirs
- **/remove_dir/**
Any thoughts on the proper way to exclude an entire directory and its
sub-directories and files when doing an rsync?
