Overview
rsync copies only the differences between source and destination, making incremental backups extremely fast. It works over SSH for secure remote sync and supports compression, checksums, and exclusion rules.
Common use cases include backup scripts, mirroring directories, and deploying websites. rsync is included in virtually every Linux distribution by default.
