Thanks for that. I have used rsync to good effect.
One thing that has alluded me is the  --include=PATTERN  (and 
--include-from=FILE) options.

What iam trying to do is copy a subset of dirs to a parallet tree elsewhere
/dir/somedir/...            -> /backpuplocation/somedir/...
/dir/some/other/deepdir/... -> /backpuplocation/some/other/deepdir/...

I have tried so many combinations of --include and --exclude that I am 
confused.  Anyone go a sampel of this.
