UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Ok here we go.

I have mounted remote drives and I am trying to get rsync to just sync certain directories within these mounted folders.

Example:
/mnt/bkmasterbackup1
/mnt/bkmasterbackup2
/mnt/bkmediabackup1
/mnt/prodnas02
/mnt/prodnas03
/mnt/prodnas04
/mnt/prodnas05

Inside these mounted drives I have a folder called DR
Example:
user(at)machine# pwd
/mnt/prodnas02/ArdentHS/DR

Im trying to just sync /mnt/prodnas02/*/DR/*

What Im trying to use is ..
rsync -rhu --progress --include-from=/root/rsync-include/drfolders --log-file=/var/log/copy.log /mnt/prodnas02 /mnt/backup01/

within my drfolders file I have something like
/*/*/DR/*

I've tried several different lines and include or exclude lines but for some reason I am truley missing something.

Any assistance with the syntax would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe I asked this question in the wrong section?

Maybe I asked the wrong questions?

Section "FILTER RULES" in man rsync

I also was trying that and couldnt get the syntax correct I suppose.


thanks for the reply! I did check out the --filter rules but I cant get the syntax down correctly.
