I'm trying to do an rsync of the entire /var directory, but exclude just the /var/www directory.

--exclude-from takes a filename as an argument. That filename is expected to contain a list of patterns to exclude.
rsync -avzp --exclude=/var/www /var/ /mnt/var/
If your exclude pattern begins with '/', then it matches a filename immediately within the transfer root. So in this case, "/var/var/www".
Read the "FILTER RULES" and "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES" sections of the manual.
Try: rsync -avzp --exclude=/www /var/ /mnt/var/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
