rsync - Sep 2002 - Copying only *.files from tree

I'd like to replicate a directory structure but only copying
*.<anything>
files.

rsync -a --include="*.rrd" --exclude="*" /var/www/html 
taurus::pegasusdata/var-www-html

Didn't work.

One additional issue is *.rrd files only exists 2 levels bellow 
/var/www/html/, not in /var/www/html itself.

Do I missed something ?

Yep, you excluded everything (including subdirs) that doesn't match *.rrd.
So
rsync never got into the subdirs to see the *.rrd files inside them.
Try: --include="*.rrd" --include="**/"
--exclude="*". That middle include will
include all subdirs, down to any depth in the tree (**).

Max.
