Hello, I've got a client I'm backing up via rsync (BackupPC v3.1). I recently added a very large directory to the filesystem I'm backing up, which has many hundred thousand files inside it. I don't n
Ian, I have a similar question. I'm using rsync for transfer and need to exclude a few windows directories such as system volume. I added the path to the directory as rsync sees it on the other end "
