For non-ssh-rsync-clients, that did the trick! Thank you!

I re-checked: There is no "\" in my config.pl or <host>.pl in the
--filter statement! It is as I described. (The output comes from manual
command line backup.)

But arguments are handled differently depending on whether I use rsync
locally, rsync via ssh or rsyncd. So carefully applying the "+" does the
trick after all.


Thank you,
