Notes
When using rsync over ssh, make sure both machines have rsync installed or it won't work.
Take care of the "/"es and the relative paths. Note in the following everything from 192.168.09:/home/ is copied into /mnt/home/ with the exclusion of /home/sites/www.maxq.nl/ and /home/sites/www.cmtportal.nl/site/zuilen/upload/. There are is no / before the path of the exclude and none after the destination dir.
