Basic Syntax
rsync options source destination
Some common options:
- a : archive mode, archive mode allows copying files recursively and it also preserves symbolic links, file permissions, user & group ownerships and timestamps
- h : human-readable, output numbers in a human-readable format
- r : copies data recursively (but don’t preserve timestamps and permission while transferring data)
- v : verbose
- z : compress file data
