[SOLVED] rysnc error - failed: No such file or directory

Hello,

I'm trying to do a full system backup by following the steps on archlinux wiki and I'm getting this error:

]# rsync -axAXS --info=progress2 --dry-run --exclude={"/dev/*", "/proc/*", "/sys/*", "/tmp/*", "/run/*", "/mnt/*", "/media/*", "/lost+found", "/home/*/.gvfs"} / /mnt/backup/

Not sure what's wrong. Those folders obviously exist.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Okay I found it, I shouldn't have a space after every comma ", " in the exclude block. ^^
