To be fair, you didn't provide much in the way of basic information ...
such as whether you're using tar or rsync or some other method, what your
excludes look like, and so on.

In general, I suppose I'd suggest you try using (whichever tool you're
using, such as tar or rsync) from the command line and see if that works
before moving on.  If it doesn't work, fix that first.  You may need to
switch versions of tar or rsync.
