#Usage:
download to `/var/tmp/ignorelist`
rsync -aP --exclude-from=/var/tmp/ignorelist /home/$USER/ /media/$USER/linuxbackup/home/$USER/
# download to `/var/tmp/ignorelist`
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rubo77/rsync-homedir-excludes/master/rsync-homedir-excludes.txt -O /var/tmp/ignorelist

rsync -naP --exclude-from=/var/tmp/ignorelist /home/$USER/ $BACKUPDIR|grep denied
