backups</a>, by Mike Rubel.

+<li>There is now a perl script that implements
+<a href="/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/atomic-rsync">an
+atomic update</a> of the received files at the end of the transfer (when pulling).
<li> Brian Elliott Finley has put together a great Linux install system based
on rsync. You you read about it at <a href="http://thefinleys.com/SystemImager/">http://thefinleys.com/SystemImager/</a>
+<li><a href="http://www.dirvish.com/">Dirvish</a> is a fast, disk based,
+rotating network backup system that was originally written by JW Schultz.

<li><a href="http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/">BackupPC</a>: a backup
system using rsync. Hard-links all identical files (even between multiple
runs and multiple backup sources), compresses the files, provides an easy
script that uses config files to setup multiple backup scenarios and
invokes rsync (or rsyncX on MacOS).

+<li>For those wanting to use launchd to run an rsync daemon (e.g. Mac
+OS X Tiger users), Glen Scott provides the necessary
+<a href="http://www.designsolution.co.uk/resources/rsync/">rsync.plist</a>
+file.
-<li> Thomas Roessler has written a rsync wrapper for efficient, safe
-CVS mirroring. See <A HREF="ftp://riemann.iam.uni-bonn.de/pub/users/roessler/cvslock/">ftp://riemann.iam.uni-bonn.de/pub/users/roessler/cvslock/</A>
+<li>For the developer wanting to work on a branched rsync version based on
+one of the diffs in the patches dir, you may want to check into Matt's
+<a href="http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/myrsync/index.html#patchsync">patchsync</a>
+script.

-<li>Joe Smith has <a href="http://www.inwap.com/mybin/miscunix/?rrsync">a nice
-perl script</a> that lets you restrict the rsync commands that can be run via
-ssh.
+<li>There are a few choices for making rsync work with OS X's resource forks.
+One is the official apple patch found on their opendarwin site, such as
+<a href="http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4/rsync-20">this one</a>
+(I've heard patch inefficiently transfers the entire resource fork information
+for every file on every transfer.) Another choice is to use a third-party
+adapted rsync, such as
+<a href="http://archive.macosxlabs.org/rsyncx/rsyncx.html">rsyncx</a> or a
+<a href="http://www.quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode">rsync+hfsmode
+patch</a> by D Andrew Reynhout. For the future, I would like to see an rsync
+that supports ACLs and Posix xattrs adapted to interact with resource forks in
+a seamless way (if that's possible).
+
+<li>Piero Orsoni wrote a GTK-based GUI for rsync called
+<a href="http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/">grsync</a>.
+
+<li>Thomas Roessler has written an rsync wrapper for
+<a href="ftp://riemann.iam.uni-bonn.de/pub/users/roessler/cvslock/">efficient,

+
+<li>Rsync is distributed with the
+<a href="/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/rrsync">rrsync perl script</a>
+that lets you restrict the rsync commands that can be run via ssh. (This is
+an enhanced version of Joe Smith's
+<a href="http://www.inwap.com/mybin/miscunix/?rrsync">original</a>.)

+<li>An initial version of a <a href="http://www.kolosy.com/wordpress/?p=8">rewrite of rsync for .Net</a>.
+
+<li>A patch for gzip that implements
+<a href="/ftp/unpacked/rsync/patches/gzip-rsyncable.diff">the
+--rsyncable option</a> makes the transfer of gzip-compressed files more efficient.
+
+<li>You might want to check out an encryption program that is being developed
+to produce more rsync-friendly output:
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsyncrypto">rsyncrypto</a>.
+
+<li>If you need a 2-way synchronization because both ends of the transfer may
+be changing files, you may want to either look into a tool designed to do this
+(e.g. <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/unison/">unison</a>), or you may
+wish to use an external wrapper for rsync that keeps extra data about what was
+in the last transfer so that it can figure out if a file is new or deleted
+(e.g. <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/drsync/">drsync</a>).
