Ok, here is my include.txt

+ /etc
+ /home/cmolina
+ /var/log
- - - /*

And  now here is my command and output...
rsync -vv -e ssh --recursive --include-from=include.txt root at www-01:/ 
/tmp/cmolina

opening connection using ssh -l root www-01 rsync --server --sender -vvr . /

rsync isn't include directories under /home and /var, because it exclude 
recursively on /*

IS there a way to manage it...??

Note that source directory on rsync call is /

Thanks a lot.
