4. Exclude path is always relative
 
If you are not careful, you might make this mistake.
 
In the following example, the exclude option seems to have a full path (i.e /dir1/dir2/file3.txt). But, from rsync point of view, exclude path is always relative, and it will be treated as dir1/dir2/file3.txt. In the example below, rsync will look for dir1 under source directory (and not under / root directory).
 
$ rsync -avz --exclude '/dir1/dir2/file3.txt' source/ destination/
 
So, the above command is exactly same as the following. Just to avoid confusion (and to make it easy to read), don’t give / in front of the exclude path.
 
$ rsync -avz --exclude 'dir1/dir2/file3.txt' source/ destination/
