Description

Rsync is an open source utility that helps users back up and synchronize files and directories between two or more computers. It is an essential tool for backing up or synchronizing data across multiple computers. It is a very powerful tool that can be used to efficiently transfer files and directories between two or more machines over the network, even over slow or unreliable links. It can also be used to efficiently copy files between two or more directories on the same machine. Rsync works by comparing the source and destination directories and only transferring the differences between them. This makes it an efficient way to keep files in sync across multiple computers. Rsync can also be used to securely transfer files to and from remote servers using the SSH protocol. It supports compression and encryption of data to ensure the security of the data being transferred. Rsync can also be used to mirror entire directories and can be used in conjunction with a variety of other programs and services to create a robust backup system.
