rsync - exclude files and folders

First - define the files and folders you want to exclude from the rsync:

To do this create a file called ‘exclude.txt’ on the destination machine (the system you give the rsync command on):

pico /home/buddy/exclude.txt

Now we have defined what to exclude we can direct rsync to the file with:

–exclude-from ‘/home/buddy/exclude.txt’

The final command would be:

rsync -e ’ssh -p 2222′ -avl –delete –stats –progress –exclude-from ‘/home/buddy/exclude.txt’ root@192.168.1.1:/home/buddy /backup/
