Backup solution using rsync
Hello All,

I am looking at a fast way to script some backups. I am looking at using rsync to do the leg work. I am having a hard time conceiving a script though.

I have a tree with subfolders within subfolders. I was looking at the /xd option to parse the tree.

Code:

Is there a good way to limit the recursive depth of rsync so that I can have a zip file for the contents of the folders inside the root directory folders? I want to keep things separate. I know it's really me just being finicky, the other method I did this was with winrar and archiving to specific folders using the contextual right click to zip in a specified target. I suppose robocopy could be used instead of rsync but it doesn't include compression.

I was hoping there was a better way to do this as I have time at work to open my mind and try new things. I just need someone to point me in the general direction. I suppose /xf could also be used for certain patterns. I just don't want everything gathered and dumped in one place.

Thanks so much!
