CentOS - Oct 2009 - rsync exclusions

Hi All,

I am using rsync  and I see --exclude as an option.

But it says --exclude pattern?

So how can I do an rsync on '/' except exclude /home/nackup?

I am doing:

rsync -avx / /mnt/sdb2/

can I simply do:

rsync -avx --exclude=/home/backup / /mnt/sdb2/

-ML

>can I simply do:

The exclude is relative from the path specified in the source.
