here is what i'm doing :

# rsync -avuz source/ dest/
# rsync -avuz dest/ source/

in order to sync 2 different directories

if you know what you are doing you can also use the –delete option, in order to remove files that are in "dest" dir and not in "source" dir anymore.

I was wondering... How is it possible to simultaneously synchronize 2 directories? If there are changes to both directories to keep only the newer files thx once again :-) Thank you for this tutorial.

I am now using rsync to sync them with an external drive. Have a great day! My unix skills are limited and I had to find a simple backup solution for some directories on a server at work.

This morning I got inspired and started reading everything I could find. The annoying thing? Everything I found was either way too advanced or way too patronizing. This was perfect. I fully intend to see if I can find your next articles on it. I'm somewhat familiar with rsync and have used prebuilt commands in the past.

Never had the need to use rsync before; was more curious as to its "power". Cheers Mike. Nice tutorial and example as well.

Since I've never used GoodSync, I can't say how exactly rsync is different, apart from the following: - it's open source, which means it can be compiled and used on any OS. GoodSync appears to be a Windows application - rsync is a well documented tool with protocol open for comments and improvements. GoodSync seems to be a proprietary software - GoodSync has graphics interface, while rsync itself is a command line tool. There are quite a few frontends for it, but they need to be downloaded separately Bottom line is: you don't need to know programming, but command line-driven rsync will seem harder to use than GoodSync, at least initially Hi Mark,

I've used GoodSync and it has been great but is this something I have to download to get it to work, or are you saying I need to know programming?
