rsync a Magento installation

gistfile1.sh

rsync -chavzP --exclude='path/to/installation/var/cache' --exclude='path/to/installation/.git' --exclude='path/to/installation/media/catalog/product/cache' --exclude='path/to/installation/var/tmp' --exclude='path/to/installation/var/session' --exclude='kiboots/var/report' --stats username@host:path/to/installation /destination/path

To not have to look up the port for rsync (and the excludes are relative, so no need for absolute pathes imho):

rsync -e "ssh -p 22" -chavzP --exclude='var/cache' --exclude='.git' --exclude='media/catalog/product/cache' --exclude='var/tmp' --exclude='var/session' --exclude='kiboots/var/report' --stats username@host:path/to/installation /destination/path

thx.

exclude kiboots/var/report should be path/to/installation/var/report
