filter problem

[Mario D_ring]

Hello,

I want to copy some stuff via rsync from one host to another and delete
the deleted files afterwards (--delete-after).

I have one folder, that I don't want to get deleted though.

For that I used the filter -f 'P /dir/*'
but it seems that it only works for /dir/* and not /dir/bla/*

Do I have to write

-f 'P /dir/*' -f 'P /dir/*/*/' -f 'P /dir/*/*/*' ...

in order to get it to work, or is there a smarter way? :)


Regards,
Mario.
