Can you * certain folders in a path with rsync exclude?

For example if I wanted to not back up a users email, can I go: daily/*/homedir/mail/* This would be in the exclude file. Or is there another way to not backup several paths by changing one catch all variable? I am trying to add backups and want it to restore fast, so not including small files like email will help this. I am rsyncing the /backup/cpbackup/daily/ files to another server. Also any other file types you can think of to include here besides the ones CPanel already has? I added: error_log *.log For example.

  Thanks, I read that and noticed none of the excluded paths have more than one folder */.wysiwygPro_* For example the path above is only 1 folder, not sure if a rule or coincidence. I have this now: daily/*/homedir/application_backups/* Maybe this is correct for it? */application_backups/* Or just: application_backups/* Does it need the full path or just the folder before it? Thank you

  This thread may be of some use to you: cpbackup-exclude.conf format, missing something? - cPanel Forums If not, searching these forums for: cpbackup-exclude.conf Yields 92 more threads that might be. :) GL!

  Sorry I guess the hundreds of thousands of dollars I have paid to CPanel isn't enough to get some help. My bad.

  So, I take it that thread was of no use to you?
