rsync ignores include rule - analogic to other that works

[Julian Davchev]

Hi,
I have this rsync to backup specific directories from one PC to another
in local network.
All is working smooth except for /storage dir. I just don't get why as I
am using
exact same why as I do for other dirs that work.

I see that it matches it like e.g
[sender] showing directory /storage because of pattern /storage/
..........

But then again there is no /storage/** like for etc for example.
[sender] showing directory /etc because of pattern /etc/
[sender] showing file /etc/csh.login because of pattern /etc/**
........


So at the end /storage dir is created but no content inside. Is it
possible reason
that it is too huge and/or too many files inside? But I don't see any
error on -vv

Here is script I use

export RSYNC_RSH="ssh -o Compression=no -x";
rsync -aHvx  \
        --include-from=backup.includes \
        --progress --numeric-ids --delete \
         --delete-excluded --relative --verbose \
        / root at 192.168.1.10:/root/backup/laptop/lin/
