Hi,
I am using rsync to backup from my server to a backup server that has been setup.
I can back up a directory with numerous files and folders and restore them but I have not learned how to "exclude" a specific folder from the rsync backup that runs via cron nightly.
I have tried these: rsync -av -cache/ -e ssh /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ name@backup13.gnax.net:/fooname/domain rsync -avr - cache/ -e ssh /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ name@backup13.gnax.net:/fooname/domain
I need to exclude these folders on every domain that is backed up: cache/ download/ pub/
I have also read the man pages but am not understanding.
How would I accomplish this?
Thank you!

What part of the '--exclude=[PATTERN]' part of the man page is giving you trouble? Is something not matching correctly, overmatching too much or...?

Add this you your rsync command --exclude=**/cache --exclude **/download --exclude**/pub, and see if it gives you the required result. If not then please be more specific.
