-''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.

 +=== 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

 +             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''
