Paul,<div><br></div><div>thanks for the reply. In the real script that I use the dash between exclude and from was there and for some reason I didn't copied in the mail. That is also confirmed from the output of rsync that I've attached.</div>

</div>If this is your exact command, then you're excluding the file<br>
<div class="im">"from='/cygdrive/f/.bak_exclude'"<br>
<br>
</div>You probably meant --exclude-from='/cygdrive/f/.bak_exclude'<br>
(note the dash between --exclude and from).<br>

</div>As you're specifying this file for --exclude-from, the '-' at the<br>
beginning is not needed.<br>
