Hello folks;
I'm using rsync on my Ubuntu servers to sync a remote folders on a remote machine to a local folders on a local machine.
one thing i couldn't get to work is how to exclude folder. I know i'm suppose to use "exclude" argument but every time i do, i still see the excluded directory synced.
so let's say i have 4 subdirectories on my remote machine under /var/remote, one of them named "media", how can i rsync all directories from the remote server to the local server except for "media" directory?
Here's the command i'm currently using (without exclude):
Thanks in advance for your help

I have folders that sync over the network with an external software. I would like to know if rsync can be used to only sync permissions on files on the files. Remember I just want the permissions on the source to be copied over to the destination's already synced files. (2 Replies)
I have a folder on a server that I update from different machines. So I think Rsync sounds like a good solution but I'm not sure how to make it a bidirectional check for updating, because if I work on the file on one of my client machines it could be newer than the server. (2 Replies)
Hi there
Does anybody know of a way that i can, instead of issuing a --delete when syncing one directory to another, I can instead somehow receive a list of what would be deleted, but not actually delete it ?

bup-on
bup-on(1) General Commands Manual bup-on(1)NAME
bup-on - run a bup server locally and client remotely
SYNOPSIS
bup on <hostname> index ...
bup on <hostname> save ...
bup on <hostname> split ...
DESCRIPTION
bup on runs the given bup command on the given host using ssh. It runs a bup server on the local machine, so that commands like bup save
on the remote machine can back up to the local machine. (You don't need to provide a --remote option to bup save in order for this to
work.)
See bup-index(1), bup-save(1), and so on for details of how each subcommand works.
This 'reverse mode' operation is useful when the machine being backed up isn't supposed to be able to ssh into the backup server. For
example, your backup server can be hidden behind a one-way firewall on a private or dynamic IP address; using an ssh key, it can be autho-
rized to ssh into each of your important machines. After connecting to each destination machine, it initiates a backup, receiving the
resulting data and storing in its local repository.
For example, if you run several virtual private Linux machines on a remote hosting provider, you could back them up to a local (much less
expensive) computer in your basement.
EXAMPLES
# First index the files on the remote server
$ bup on myserver index -vux /etc
bup server: reading from stdin.
Indexing: 2465, done.
bup: merging indexes (186668/186668), done.
bup server: done
# Now save the files from the remote server to the
# local $BUP_DIR
$ bup on myserver save -n myserver-backup /etc
bup server: reading from stdin.
bup server: command: 'list-indexes'
PackIdxList: using 7 indexes.
Saving: 100.00% (241/241k, 648/648 files), done.
bup server: received 55 objects.
Indexing objects: 100% (55/55), done.
bup server: command: 'quit'
bup server: done
# Now we can look at the resulting repo on the local
# machine
$ bup ftp 'cat /myserver-backup/latest/etc/passwd'
