Rclone sync exclude - what am I doing wrong?

Help and Support

Hi everyone,

I have an rclone sync command with an exclude option and it semi-works.

Script:
rclone sync /mnt/disk2/ GDriveUA: --exclude-from /mnt/user/exclude-folders-online

Exclude file:

# Exclude this very file
exclude-folders-local
exclude-folders-online
# Exclude system and appdata folders
/system/
/appdata/
# Exclude Recycle Bin (dot)Folder
*/.Recycle.Bin/
# Exclude AutoCAD backups
*.bak
# Exclude Backups Folder
/Backups/

It works fine except the “.Recycle.Bin” folder and bak files are still included. What am I doing wrong?

Do you want the Recycle Bin excluded just at the root, or everywhere?

If just at the root then you want

/.Recycle.Bin/**

Your setting for *.bak looks fine to me to exclude all files ending in .bak anywhere on the disk.

Can you post a log with -vv of the excludes failing and I’ll see if I can spot anything?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

The rclone command didn’t seem to work from the command line, however, it works as it should be when ran as a script within the unRaid settings.

Thank you for your reply ncw.
