====== rsync ======
^ Flags                 ^ Effect  |
^ General ^^
| ''-a'' | preserve file attributes |
| ''-c'' | checksum every file before copying |
| ''%%--delete%%'' | delete destination files that don't exist in the source |
| ''-H'' | look for hardlinks in source and replicate in destination |
| ''%%--partial%%'' | continue partially copied files |
| ''-W'' | skip file verification (initial transfer!) |
^ Network ^^
| ''%%--bwlimit=Xm%%'' | limit I/O or network bandwith |
^ Information ^^
| ''-h'' | human-readable units |
| ''%%--info=progress2%%''  | Show total progress as a percentage        |
| ''%%--no-i-r%%'' | make a complete scan before beginning //(better estimate total amount of data)// |

===== Examples =====
=== Show total progress as a percentage, and make a complete (instead of incremental) scan first ===
''%%rsync -ah --info=progress2 --no-i-r%%''
==== Directory comparison ====
=== Differences between two folders ===
''rsync -avun $SOURCE $TARGET''
=== Files that don't exist in TARGET folder ===
''%%rsync -avun --delete $TARGET $SOURCE |grep "^deleting "%%''
==== Path exclusion ====
''%%rsync -arH --exclude="*/minsun/mnt/minsunluks/mc/plugins/dynmap/web" /mnt/tmpcherry/rsnapshot /mnt/neocherry%%''

//The exclusion pattern is relative to the source location!//
