rsync include and exclude

[Jay Hall]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am using rsync to backup some information and I am having some  
problem with including and excluding directories.

I want to include everything in the user's mail directory and  
everything in the user's documents directory.  Everything else should  
be excluded.  And, it is possible to have multiple users on a single  
computer.

Following is what I am using for my include/exclude patterns.

+ /Users/*/Library/Mail/
+ /Users/*/Documents/
- /Users/*/Documents/*
- /Users/*/Library/*

This gives me close to the desired result.  However, there are some  
extra files included which I do not need to backup which are stored  
in /Users/username directory.

If I add -/Users/*, no files are backed up.

After reading the man pages and several examples, I thought I had a  
handle on this.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


Jay
