- [Scott] We've spent some time working with rsync and exploring a few use cases where it can be quite helpful. There are endless scenarios that we can imagine needing to support in rsync jobs, so again, I encourage you to spend a lot of time looking through the rsync man page and practicing with a dry run option as you develop your jobs. You may find that your needs require simply using rsync with few or no options as a drop-in replacement for copy or scp, and that using rsync for this will enhance your file copying experience. It may also be the case that you need to develop much more customized rsync jobs to account for metadata, business requirements, and so on. In either case, we might use rsync as one-off commands or include commands in a script or other process that runs automatically. Rsyncs superpowers can make you a file copying wizard. Just remember to use dry run before you transfer data for real. See you…
