How to Use rsync for Efficient File Synchronisation on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Use rsync for Efficient File Synchronisation on RHEL 9

rsync is the Swiss Army knife of file synchronisation for Linux administrators. Unlike scp, which blindly copies every file every time, rsync computes a rolling checksum to identify changed file blocks and transfers only what has changed — making subsequent syncs dramatically faster and less bandwidth-intensive. It preserves file attributes (permissions, ownership, timestamps, ACLs, extended […]
