File Synchronization With Rsync

If you use a remote shell like rsh or ssh, I don't think you need to run a daemon on the host.

eg::

rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --recursive --times --perms --links --delete --exclude "counter.file" --exclude "URLFILE.file" local/* remote_host:target/

You can use '--rsync-path=/remote/path/to/rsync', if the remote installation of rsync is not in SSH's path.

Here is a handy perl script which provides an easy way to create nightly/weekly incremental or full backups.

See the "rsback website":http://www.pollux.franken.de/hjb/rsback/

CVS is better for this purpose in
most of the cases.

Well done this is the best rsync tutorial on the net.
I was stuggling with the other documentation out there, especially the official documentation.
