An rsync "module" is a defined virtual target in the rsyncd config as explained in http://transamrit.net/docs/rsync/ which gives you greater control of resources you open up to be rsync'd. The exclude-from option gives certain files you can prevent from synching, while the exclude option is a pattern you can match. The opposite of which are include-from and include, respectively.
