Here's the command :
rsync -avAX --exclude-from=rsyncexclude.txt ./some_tests/ ./back_to_me/
Here's the contents of the exclude file :
/some_tests/musik/
/some_tests/notthis/
I've tried the command from the Arch page - can't get that to work with the {} exclude either.
Not sure what to do, I'm not getting error messages, the directories exist. The directories that I don't want to be copied (that are on the txt file) are being copied.
The root (/) of an absolute path in an rsync exclude file refers to the top level of the source directory. So if ./some_tests/ has an internal hierarchy that includes another some_tests subdirectory, then what you have should work. I.e., ./some_tests/some_tests/musik/ should be excluded.
However, if what you meant was ./some_tests/musik/, then you should use:
/musik/
Not /some_tests/musik/.
