rsync back?
Hi,
I am in the process of developing backup script using rsync,

my code is bellow:

EXCLUDE_DIR="/home/kannanpg/mscdr/src/ex1"
rsync -az -e ssh -v --exclude $EXCLUDE_DIR --delete $HOSTTOBACKUP:$SOURCE $DR_BACKUP_DIR/daily.0 >$tempfile 2>&1

even my exclude dir is coping.. what is wrong in my code.?

It depends on the other arguments which you did not give. If you are syncing /home/kannanpg/ and you want to exclude /home/kannanpg/mscdr/src/ex1, then you use /mscdr/src/ex1 as the argument to --exclude.
