<ul>
-<li>Here is an <A HREF="/listproc/rsync">archive of the rsync mailing list</A>.
+<li>Google knows more than we do. Feel free to
+<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rsync">search google for rsync</a>.
-<li>Here is <A HREF="/listproc/">how to subscribe to the rsync mailing

+<li>
+2002-05-15: rsync is not official GNU software, but we try to
+work more or less in accordance with their <a
+href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_toc.html">Guidelines for
+Maintaining GNU Software</a>.
-<li>You can <A HREF="/listproc/ghindex.html">search the mailing list

+<li> 2002-04-10: A new tutorial on using rsync to create a system of <a
+href="http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/">rotating
+backups</a>, by Mike Rubel.
-<li>If you still don't know what rsync is then take a look at the <A HREF="ftp://rsync.samba.org/pub/rsync/README">README</A>.
+<li>If you still don't know what rsync is then take a look at the <A HREF="/ftp/rsync/README">README</A>.
-<li>Here is the <A HREF="/ftp/rsync/cvs.log">rsync change log through
-the latest release</A>.
+<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> Karsten Thygesen has written a doc on how to setup <A HREF="http://sunsite.auc.dk/SunSITE/rsync/rsync-mirroring.html">anonymous rsync servers</A>

-<li> Jim Davis has written a doc on how to <A

-<li> Mike McHenry has written up come info on how to get <a

-<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><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
+interface to find and restore files, etc.
+
+<li><a href="http://hacks.dlux.hu/drsync/">drsync</a>: a wrapper for rsync
+that remembers file sets between invocations so that a 2-way synchronization
+of two systems is possible.
+
+<li><a href="http://rsyncbackup.erlang.no/">rsyncbackup</a>: a helper
+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.
+
+<!--#include virtual="doc-resources.html" -->
+
+<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>Thomas Roessler has written an rsync wrapper for
+<a href="ftp://riemann.iam.uni-bonn.de/pub/users/roessler/cvslock/">efficient,
+safe CVS mirroring</a>.
+
+<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><a href="mailto:LEakin@Nostrum.COM">Lee Eakin</a> has written a <a href="rsync_wrapper.pl">perl wrapper for rsync</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:
