You do want there to be a proc directory on your backup disk so add
/proc to your exclude list and include a separate "mkdir proc" in your
bckup script.
BTW, cp isn't a waste of time since there is an update op
I am trying to use rsync (version 2.5.1 protocol version 25) to produce a

proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid
