with these rsync rsync [...] /var/ /dir/
rsync [...] /etc/ /dir2/
And exclude file: excl
/apache2/*
That will exclude both /var/apache2/*
and /etc/apache2/*
How can I tell rsync I want /var/apache2 excluded, but not /etc/apache2?
I mean short of using separate excl files for each run
Using something like the start of an absolute name:
`/etc/apache2/*'
Allows both /etc/apache2
and /var/apache2 to be collected

I put your line verbatim into my exlcude file (near the top) /pkg/* /sadm/* /cache/* /opt/csw/cache/* -/ /var/apache2/* /tmp/* ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- My actual task here is an rsnapshot run that collects files Here /var/ and here /etc/ (a few other places as well as well) But as you probably know its really a pair of rsync runs that occur. To reiterate, my goal was to collect files at `/etc/apache2/' but not at `/var/apache2' (These are just typical of what I want to do in several places.) Adding that line verbatim did not have the effect I'm after.
