Hi, I have an interesting issue that I can't seem to solve. I would like to send data from a source to a destination drive, but I only want to send certain directories from the source to the destination. As an example my directory structure on the source side looks something like this: /dir1/proj1/a/id1/docs /dir1/proj1/a/id1/docs/released /dir1/proj1/a/id1/docs/beta /dir1/proj1/a/id1/code there are multiple proj<n>/<alpha>/id<n> directories I just want to send /dir1/proj<n>/<alpha>/id<n>/docs/released to the destination, and I want the destination to maintain the source path structure. I used wild cards to send the data e.g. /dir1/*/*/*/docs/released, but the --delete command didn't seem to clean out the destination side when the source side was empty. My unix admin said that it would be very risky to do this, and that using an exclude/include statement is still risky. Is it risky? What would be the best way to implement such a sync using rsync?
