 ==== rsync (Linux !) ====
-''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. It can also be used on a Windows 10 computer where [[other:win10wsl|WSL + Ubuntu is installed]]! On Windows, it is easier to use the //mirroring// option of [[other:win10_syncback|SyncBack]].
+''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. It can also be used on a Windows 10 computer where [[other:win10wsl|WSL + Ubuntu is installed]]!
-//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.
+On Windows, it is easier to use the //mirroring// option of [[other:win10_syncback|SyncBack]].
-<WRAP center round important 60%>
+Read the [[other:ssh#mirroring_directories_with_rsync|Mirroring directories with rsync]] on the ''ssh'' page
-**Warning!** It is 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!
-  * Be sure to understand the basic options, and use ''%%--%%dry-run'' (simulate what would be done) and ''-v'' (verbose) before performing an actual synchronization

-    * 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!
