LinuxQuestions.org - rsync - need some argument help

I would like to copy all paritions from computer1 to a directory on a backup partition on computer2 except for /proc /tmp /usr/home (but still copy the rest of /usr).

I have been dealing with this problem all day and have a few backups but would like to rsync the ENTIRE system over to a remote directory, just to play it safe.

my paritions are this;

Code:

Filesystem        Size  Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on

/dev/da0s1a        252M    93M  138M    40%    /

/dev/da0s1e      1008M  140K  927M    0%    /tmp

/dev/da0s1g        301M  179M    99M    64%    /oldusr

/dev/vinum/usr      90G  4.8G    78G    6%    /usr

/dev/da0s1f        5.9G  630M  4.8G    11%    /var

procfs            4.0K  4.0K    0B  100%    /proc

second:/usr/home    56G    49G  2.1G    96%    /usr/home

Again, I'd like to copy all but(!) /tmp /proc /usr/home

and within / I have no need to copy /dev

So far, this is what im considering using at the cmd line;

Code:

rsync -arzlpxP --exclude=/dev/* / root@192.168.1.5:/backup

what are your thoughts?
