| - | ''rsync'' is a convenient Linux command that can be used for mirroring a directory hierarchy to another location on the same computer (e.g. a removable disk) or a remote server.

| + | //Mirroring// means in the ''rsync'' case that we will **only copy new or changed files**. The first //copy// may take some time, but will be much faster afterwards, when only a few files have been created/changed and have to be copied. Or, if a copy is interrupted, the files already copied will not be copied a second time. | ||

| - | Warning! It's easy to lose files with ''rsync'' if you use the wrong syntax or options!

| + | Mirroring //no files// by mistake, to a place where there are files, with the ''%%--%%delete'' option, means that existing files or whole directory hierarchies will be deleted! | ||

| + | === Some rsync options === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use ''man rync'' for more details and options | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | -a, --archive archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X) | ||
| + | -r, --recursive recurse into directories | ||
| + | -l, --links copy symlinks as symlinks | ||
| + | -p, --perms preserve permissions | ||
| + | -t, --times preserve modification times | ||
| + | -g, --group preserve group | ||
| + | -o, --owner preserve owner (super-user only) | ||
| + | --devices preserve device files (super-user only) | ||
| + | --specials preserve special files | ||
| + | -D same as --devices --specials | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | -v, --verbose increase verbosity | ||
| + | -z, --compress compress file data during the transfer | ||
| + | -W, --whole-file copy files whole (w/o delta-xfer algorithm) | ||
| + | -C, --cvs-exclude auto-ignore files in the same way CVS does | ||
| + | RCS SCCS CVS CVS.adm RCSLOG cvslog.* tags TAGS .make.state .nse_depinfo *~ #* .#* ,* _$* | ||
| + | *$ *.old *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej .del-* *.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.exe *.Z *.elc *.ln | ||
| + | core .svn/ .git/ .hg/ .bzr/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | --delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs | ||
| + | |||
| + | -n, --dry-run perform a trial run with no changes made | ||
| + | -c, --checksum skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Examples === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * We have an existing //source// ''/mnt/h/test/'' directory that we would like to //mirror// to another disk or //destination//, as ''/mnt/i/test/''.\\ i.e we want to recursively copy the content of ''test/'' to a ''test/'' directory //somewhere else// | ||
| + | * Show what would be done, but do not do it (yet)\\ <wrap em>Note that we have a trailing ''/'' after the source directory, and NO ''/'' after the destination directory</wrap>\\ ''rsync %%--%%dry-run -avW -C /mnt/h/test/ /mnt/i/test'' | ||
| + | * Note: using ''-C'' makes sure that files and directories considered as temporary will not be copied.\\ Do NOT use the ''-C'' option if you really want to copy all the files! | ||
| + | * Same as above, without the //verbose// mode. Probably nothing will be displayed on the screen\\ ''rsync %%--%%dry-run -aW -C /mnt/h/test/ /mnt/i/test'' | ||
| + | * Actually **copy** the files, without displaying anything\\ ''rsync -aW -C /mnt/h/test/ /mnt/i/test'' | ||
| + | * Actually **mirror** the content of the //source// directory.\\ **Warning! Warning!** the ''%%--%%delete'' option will make sure that files present in the destination directory, but not in the source directory will be deleted! Be careful, make some tests and use the ''%%--%%dry-run'' option before using this\\ ''rsync -aW -C %%--%%delete /mnt/h/test/ /mnt/i/test'' | ||
