If your sync is syncing a bunch of thumb.db files from windows cause someone opened the directory, you can easely remove it from the sync :
rsync -avhn --exclude 'Thumbs.db' source destination
note : I added -n for copy/paste mistakes 🙂
if you got plenty of file types/extensions you want ignored/excluded use :
rsync -avhn --exclude-from '/opt/exclude_rsync_list.txt' source destination
an example of this file could be :
.DS_Store Thumbs.db
happy syncing.
