Hi,
I use rsync to back up my files, but I want to exclude uninteresting bulk
files in cache directories of netscape, opera and mozilla. After reading
the man pages, I use following call:
/usr/local/bin/rsync \
--exclude "rob/.netscape/cache/" \
--exclude "rob/.mozilla/**/Cache/" \
--exclude "rob/.opera/cache4/" \
-avzC /home/rob /home/BACKUP
However, the exclude lines seem to be ineffective; all the cache directories
are rsync'ed each time this backup script runs.
Any ideas why that is?
Thanks
Rob.
