prevent rsync from backing up nfs mounted drives

[keak]

Hi there,
I have the following cron schedule
rsync -az --rsh=ssh server1:/home/ /backup

This backs up everything in the remote machine's home directory in my /backup dir. The problem I am having is, it backs up a nfs mounted directory as well.

Is there anyway to tell rsync just to sync up regular directories and not nfs items? I know I can hard code it into the command, but I was wondering if there was a more generic approach to this.

You could use -x to not cross over into other filesystems, but then it also skips other local FSs you might have mounted under /home...

see man page:
-x, --one-file-system
This tells rsync not to cross filesystem boundaries when recursing. This is useful for transferring the contents of only one filesystem.



HTH,
