I run several backup scripts by cron, one of which backs up my mail. I do not want it to back up the Trash folder, but it appears to be doing so. I conclude that my script is faulty somewhere, and would be grateful for advice. The command is rsync -auvz --delete-after --exclude-from=/home/anne/rsync_skiplist_mail.txt /home/anne/Maildir/ /Data3/anne/Maildir/ where rsync_skiplist_mail.txt says *~ .[a-z]* .[A-Z]* Maildir/.INBOX.Bugs/ Maildir/.Trash/ Comments, please?
