Using aws s3 sync to synchronise files explicitly included and ignore everything else

I want to use aws to backup my (Linux) home directory, excluding all files, except those explicitly included. So, I'm using:



aws s3 sync /home/me/ s3://bucket/ --region us-east-1 
--exclude "*"
--include "a/*"
--include "b/*"


Intuitively, this should backup directories /home/me/a/ and /home/me/b, and ignore all other directories, e.g., /home/me/.Trash, yet I get the following error message:



[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/me/.Trash/files/f.2'
Completed 1 part(s) with ... file(s) remaining


What have I gotten wrong?

  • You can add the --dryrun to check?

It seems I was running an old version of aws, I upgraded following Amazon's instructions and I no longer receive that error.
