“rsync –delete –stats -vae ssh 12.123.123.123:/backup/cpbackup/daily/ /backup/cpbackup/daily/ –exclude-from ‘/root/exclude.txt’
I added the file exclude.txt because with this code you can have certain files not be transferred. In this case I added pending and spam emails.
So my exclude.txt file has this in it:
*.*.dwhs1234.dwhs.net
*.*.dwhs1234.dwhs.net:2,
*.*.dwhs1234.dwhs.net:2,*
*.msg”
core.*
*.*.mbox:2,
This is for a cpanel based server.”ezlinuxadmin.com
