Hey guys,
I have a problem with rsync and the command:
--exclude-from=/path/to/exclusion-fileI would like to protect my backup and exclude the encrypted files by Ransomeware..
I created a test file (test.locky) and run the rsync job, but rsync ignored the filter and copied "test.locky" every time..
The filter.list is in "/home/rsync_filter.list":
Why there is a dash in front?
From the rsync manual says they are patterns so my suggestion would be to use *.locky
Oh..that´s it..
I found a website with this (wrong) information..
"-" to exclude
"+" to include
- Downloads
- Dropbox
+ .config
+ .gconf
+ .gnome2
+ .local
- .*
This means exclude
~/Downloads
~/Dropbox
~/.*
but include (every folder)
~/.config,
~/.gconf,
~/.gnome2
~/.local
That was a website for ubuntu 
https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/rsync/#Beispiele
Sorry, it works now! Thanks a lot!! 
But what it says there is referring to exact folders name (or files), the dot in front means hidden folders not extension, you.wanted extensions so you need a pattern
ou.wanted extensions so you need a pattern
Quoting from http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/01/rsync-exclude-files-and-folders/
Zitat5. Exclude a specific file type
To exclude a specific file type that has a specific extension, use the appropriate pattern. For example, to exclude all the files that contains .txt as extension, do the following.
Code$ rsync -avz --exclude '*.txt' source/ destination/ building file list ... done created directory destination ./ dir1/ dir1/dir2/ dir3/
Greetings

Estimados, buenas noches.
Estoy buscando la forma de evitar que se respalden las carpetas de .RECYCLE que se habilitan al tener Samba con las carpetas compartidas. A nivel local me sirven porque es el primer lugar de recupero para archivos borrados pero quiero excluir el directorio .recycle dentro del rsync. Entiendo que se hace desde EXTRA OPTIONS pero probando, no doy con el comando correcto.
Yo tengo una carpeta compartida en el cliente que se llama PCP y adentro, está la .recycle. Yo usé el siguiente comando pero da error:
--exclude-from=/PCP/.recycle
Qué me estaría faltando o cómo sería el comando correcto?
Gracias!
