Rsync and Cron jobs

Wed 21 February 2018 by Franz Kirsten

The slides I showed are in this rsync-cronjobs.pdf
in a nutshell rsync is a fancy way to copy data
instead of copying everything it will syncronise source and sinc by comparing time tags and/or sizes of files
can be used like scp to sync different machines in a very fast and efficient way
to do this - or any other job - regularly you may want to set things up as a cron job - check out the details in the above pdf file
