Hello,
On my windows xp machine, with cygwin, I run rsync to backup important
files on another drive (samba share, mapped on h:). It works fine. I
currently use the following command line:
rsync -rtv --del --delete-excluded --progress --iconv=ISO-8859-1,UTF-8 --partial
\
--exclude "/Videos/" \
--exclude "/Ma musique/" \
/cygdrive/d/Documents/ \
/cygdrive/h/Documents/
My problem is that I would like to synchronize a directory located
inside "/Ma musique/", the one named "/Ma musique/iTunes/".
I tried to
use the following command, without success:
rsync -rtv --del --delete-excluded --progress --iconv=ISO-8859-1,UTF-8 --partial
\
--include "/Ma musique/iTunes/" \
--exclude "/Videos/" \
--exclude "/Ma musique/" \
/cygdrive/d/Documents/ \
/cygdrive/h/Documents/
Any hint about how to do this?
Thanks a lot,
--
Nicolas

To fix this, stop excluding the parent dir and instead exclude the content of the dir (but after any includes from the dir): --include="/Ma musique/iTunes/" --exclude="/Ma musique/*" ..wayne..
