rsync - exclusion of selected subfolders

Zitat

Here are some examples of exclude/include matching:

• "- *.o" would exclude all names matching *.o
• "- /foo" would exclude a file (or directory) named foo in the transfer-root directory
• "- foo/" would exclude any directory named foo
• "- /foo/*/bar" would exclude any file named bar which is at two levels below a directory named foo in the transfer-root directory
• "- /foo/**/bar" would exclude any file named bar two or more levels below a directory named foo in the transfer-root directory
• The combination of "+ */", "+ *.c", and "- *" would include all directories and C source files but nothing else (see also the --prune-empty-dirs option)
• The combination of "+ foo/", "+ foo/bar.c", and "- *" would include only the foo directory and foo/bar.c (the foo directory must be explicitly included or it would be excluded by the "*")

If you want to exclude the directory it should be

rsync --delete -av --exclude=/Dokumente/Stuff /srv/dev-disk-XX/Daten /srv/dev-disk-ZZ/Backup

The only difference I see is the slash after /Stuff that you omitted

Look at the quote I gave you:

• "- /foo" would exclude a file (or directory) named foo in the transfer-root directory
