4 years ago The rsync opts are up to you (and I'm not sure the rsync-options are going to work as you describe. Not saying they won't but it doesn't work for me. (Perhaps try the -– exclude-from option and provide a file of dirs to exclude?)
The main thing that you seem to be having trouble with is specifying the top-level dirs.
You can do this with [ --startdir=/ . ] which will include all the top-level dirs and then use the -–exclude-from [file] or you can use explicit names: --startdir=/ bin opt var boot etc lib sbin home lib64 root usr # etc
Does that work for you?
