rsync - Sep 2001 - Include / Exclude question

Hello all !
	I want to save some of the directories and files from my home dir.For
that I create a new directory where I moved the file for sync and I made
some symlinks to the dirs which I want to include in sync.The hidden
directoris (like .netscape) are not included in sync. How can I say to
rsync to include these directories too and how can I exclude a list of
directories (I have .mozilla too and I don't want do synchronize the
cache dir from .netscape and .mozilla ) ?

Thanks in advance

Crosby.

Have you checked the man page for --include and --exclude?

If you want rsync to copy files that are on the other end of a symlink,
you'll need to use -L.
