My Rsync crash course

Rsync synchronizes files between systems. To copy directory locally: rsync -av source/ destination/ To copy to remote server: rsync -av source/ user@server:/path/ To delete files at destination that no longer exist in source: rsync -av --delete source/ destination/ To exclude directory: rsync -av --exclude 'node_modules' source/ destination/ Rsync is efficient because it transfers only differences. It is ideal for backups. Disclaimer: If you follow the information here, there is no warranty , I am not liable if it deletes your data, gets you hacked, burns your house down or anything else.
