+<a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/unpacked/rsync/support/atomic-rsync">an

<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
+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>Users who use the new character-set conversion option of rsync (--iconv)
+may want to check into the <a href="http://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/man/">convmv</a>
+package that lets you convert the names of already-transferred files into a
+new characterset (for when you want to change or normalize the characterset
+of a hierarchy of files).
+
+<li>For those wanting to use launchd to run an rsync daemon (e.g. Mac
+OS X Tiger users), Glen Scott provides the necessary

-<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>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>Those interested in using an rsync daemon over SSL may be interested in
+<a href="http://dozzie.jarowit.net/trac/wiki/RsyncSSL">this wiki page</a>
+that outlines a way to use a modern, simplified stunnel setup.

+
+<li>Rsync is distributed with the
+<a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/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

+to produce more rsync-friendly output:
+<a href="http://rsyncrypto.lingnu.com/">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>).
