rsync script for synchronisation and backup

hello,

i need to modified my synch/back scripts....

i want that this script only syncro folders in destinationfolder.

f.e. when in destination are two folders
1) admin
2) users

but in SOURCE are three:
1) admin
2) users
3) antivirus

the script should only increnmential sync the two from destinationfolder!

my script:

HTML Code:

#!/bin/sh

MAILADDR=david@xyz.de
HOSTNAME=mothership
BACKUPDIR=directory_you_want_to_backup
EXCLUDES=example_exclude_file
ARCHIVEROOT=directory_to_backup_to


# directory which holds our current datastore
CURRENT=main

# directory which we save incremental changes to
INCREMENTDIR=`date +%Y-%m-%d`

# options to pass to rsync
OPTIONS="--force --ignore-errors --delete --delete-excluded \
 --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES --backup --backup-dir=$ARCHIVEROOT/$INCREMENTDIR -av"

export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

# make sure our backup tree exists
install -d $ARCHIVEROOT/$CURRENT

# our actual rsyncing function
do_rsync()
{
   rsync $OPTIONS $BACKUPDIR $ARCHIVEROOT/$CURRENT
}

# our post rsync accounting function
do_accounting()
{
   echo "Backup Accounting for Day $INCREMENTDIR on $HOSTNAME:">/tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile
   echo >> /tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile
   echo "################################################">>/tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile
   du -s $ARCHIVEROOT/* >> /tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile
   echo "Mail $MAILADDR -s $HOSTNAME Backup Report < /tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile"
   Mail $MAILADDR -s $HOSTNAME Backup Report < /tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile
   echo "rm /tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile"
   rm /tmp/rsync_script_tmpfile
}

# some error handling and/or run our backup and accounting
if [ -f $EXCLUDES ]; then
   if [ -d $BACKUPDIR ]; then
      # now the actual transfer
      do_rsync && do_accounting
   else
      echo "cant find $BACKUPDIR"; exit
   fi
   else
      echo "cant find $EXCLUDES"; exit
fi

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
