[ILUG] rsync problems

[Kevin Philp]

we use rsync for a daily rotating backup. It seems to backup fine but it 
always seems to backup everything and the --exclude clauses don't work. I 
have tried various options but clearly I am missing something obvious....any 
ideas welcome.


mv day7 day8
mv day6 day7
mv day5 day6
mv day4 day5
mv day3 day4
mv day2 day3
mv day1 day2
mv day0 day1
mv day8 day0
cp -al day1 day0
rsync -a -v --delete --exclude 
"cybercolloids/Documents/presentations/photos/library/*"  --exclude 
"cybercolloids/Computers/*" /home/ /backup-2/day0/
