--delete-excluded --exclude=/var/spool/squid --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ /srv/backups/daily.0/wall/
you can see how the /sys and /proc excludes are being ignored.
I would consider this a bug as this behaviour is not documented.
I think global exclude/include options should apply to all backups.
I am forwarding this to the upstream authors.
You can append your --exclude directly to the end of rsync_long_args
in the configuration:
rsync_long_args --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --
exclude=/sys --exclude=/proc
Or better, use --exclude-from and an exclude file:
rsync_long_args --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-exclude --
exclude-from=/path/to/exclude/file
