Can you * certain folders in a path with rsync exclude?

For example if I wanted to not back up a users email, can I go:

daily/*/homedir/mail/*

This would be in the exclude file.

Or is there another way to not backup several paths by changing one catch all variable?

I am trying to add backups and want it to restore fast, so not including small files like email will help this.

I am rsyncing the /backup/cpbackup/daily/ files to another server.

Also any other file types you can think of to include here besides the ones CPanel already has?

I added:

error_log
*.log

For example.

 

Thanks, I read that and noticed none of the excluded paths have more than one folder

*/.wysiwygPro_*

For example the path above is only 1 folder, not sure if a rule or coincidence.

I have this now: daily/*/homedir/application_backups/*

Maybe this is correct for it? */application_backups/*

Or just: application_backups/*

Does it need the full path or just the folder before it?

Thank you

 

Sorry I guess the hundreds of thousands of dollars I have paid to CPanel isn't enough to get some help. My bad.
