rsync - How to exclude one .htaccess but not all of them

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have an rsync command for copying my files from dev to production. I don't want to copy the .htaccess file that's in the root of the HTML directory but, I do want to copy the few .htaccess files that are in its sub directories. I'm using the argument --exclude .htaccess which is stopping all of the files from getting copied. The other arguments I'm including are -a --recursive --times --perms. Is it possible to configure rsync to do this? Edit: Here is my full command: rsync -a --recursive --times --perms \ --exclude prop_images --exclude tracking --exclude vtours \ --exclude . (HowTos)

Simple RSync EXCLUDE option? 14 weeks 1 day ago

I want a simple and working (multiple) exclude option inside my rsync command.

Everything I read says that to exclude .svn and .htaccess and other hidden files when creating a tar archive, use the --exclude=".*" pattern.

When I try, I get an empty archive. When I leave out the --exclude long option everything gets archived.

Here's the full command I'm using: tar -czvf ../_migrate/archive_2012-05-07.tgz --exclude=".*" ./*

I use rsnapshot to create hourly/daily/weekly/monthly backups of my "work"-share.

Local rsync question [Solved] 49 weeks 3 days ago

Afternoon All,I am trying to backup a partition on my laptop to a connected external hdd. I would also like to exclude two directories.Using rsync I've triedrsync -av /Stuff/ /media/disk/backup --exclude=/Stuff/Dropbox --exclude=/Stuff/OSsThis will rsync but does not exclude the two folders.

Source Mirroring From HowToForge

So, I have a seemingly simple issue, but so far I haven't found a solution: I want to exclude the topmost directory from an rsync, while still syncing all its children.

I'm using

rsync --delete -Rav remote:/path/to/maildir/cur /backup/

but I'm finding lots of files on remote that are not getting copied by rsync, while others are copied. Rsync does not throw any errors, it's like it just doesn't see some files.

I use a variant of the simple script below from the Community Ubuntu Documentation described

tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz --exclude=/backup.tar.gz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/sys --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/media --exclude=/dev /

I used it again on Ubuntu 12.04 and I saw some files from the /run being skipped by the script.
