hey guys,
I'm trying to do an rsync of the entire /var directory, but exclude just the /var/www directory.
So far I've tried these approaches:
rsync -avzp --exclude-from=/var/www /var/ /mnt/var/
rsync -avzp --exclude=/var/www /var/ /mnt/var/
But neither has worked. Can I get a suggestion on how to get this to happen?
Thanks, Tim

--exclude-from takes a filename as an argument. That filename is expected to contain a list of patterns to exclude.
rsync -avzp --exclude=/var/www /var/ /mnt/var/
If your exclude pattern begins with '/', then it matches a filename immediately within the transfer root. So in this case, "/var/var/www".
Read the "FILTER RULES" and "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES" sections of the manual.
Try:
rsync -avzp --exclude=/www /var/ /mnt/var/
Hey guys,
Thanks for your input! Both examples you gave worked, and I'll do some reading on the suggested subjects!! Just a heads up that it worked. I appreciate the clarification!
Thanks, Tim
