2002-04-10: A new tutorial on using rsync to create a system of rotating
backups, by Mike Rubel.
If you still don't know what rsync is then take a look at the README.
There is now a perl script that implements
an
atomic update of the received files at the end of the transfer (when pulling).
Brian Elliott Finley has put together a great Linux install system based
on rsync. You you read about it at http://thefinleys.com/SystemImager/
BackupPC: a backup
system using rsync. Hard-links all identical files (even between multiple
runs and multiple backup sources), compresses the files, provides an easy
interface to find and restore files, etc.
drsync: a wrapper for rsync
that remembers file sets between invocations so that a 2-way synchronization
of two systems is possible.
rsyncbackup: a helper
script that uses config files to setup multiple backup scenarios and
invokes rsync (or rsyncX on MacOS).
