no backup for excluded files?
Hi,
I use rsync 3.0.2 for daily incremental backups:
rsync -aAzHRxby -f '. -' --numeric-ids --delete-during --delete-excluded \
--suffix='' --backup-dir=$BACKUP_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/${TODAY} \
${DESTINATION}$BACKUP_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/current <<< $EXCLUDE_PATTERNS
Sometimes I add a new item to $EXCLUDE_PATTERNS but then the excluded
files are backed up in $BACKUP_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/$TODAY. Is there a way
to avoid that?
Thanks,
PS: the --suffix option is useless when using --backup-dir, right?

No. You could use a second run that copies the backup dir to itself to
delete any excluded files.

No, you can have rsync add a suffix to the backup files if you wish.
