linux rsync stands for remote sync which was written by Andrew Tridgell and Paul Mackerras back in 1996. It’s one of the most used and power ‘tools’ in the UNIX world and almost a standard for syncing data. Most Linux distributions have rsync pre-installed, but if it’s not there you can install the ‘rsync’ package for your distribution.
yum install rsync
apt-get install rsync
rsync -a –-delete Source Destination
rsync -avzP ––delete -e ssh user@remote-server:source-directory /local-server-destination_directory/
Now the best benefit and powerful part is to automate backup.
You can achieve this feature by creating cron job on Linux OS.
Run ‘crontab -e’ to create cron jobs. It will open an empty file where you can configure the command that you want to run at a desired time.
The format of crontab is quite simple; just pass the five fields followed by your rsync command:
m h dm m dw command
