Fold the standalone rsync-web repo into the rsync source tree as rsync-web/, eliminating the sibling-checkout convention and the drift it causes between the release-time HTML snapshot in ../release/rsync-html and the source of truth in ../rsync-web. Flat-copy import (no git history merge). The standalone repo at github.com/RsyncProject/rsync-web is retained for historical reference and will be archived once the in-tree copy proves itself. Add /rsync-web/ to .gitattributes with export-ignore so the website content does not bloat the release source tarball produced by 'git archive' in packaging/release.py step_7_tarball. A follow-up commit repoints HTML_SRC in packaging/release.py at the new in-tree location.

2002-05-15: rsync is not official GNU software, but we try to
|
|
work more or less in accordance with their <a
|
|
href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_toc.html">Guidelines for
|
|
Maintaining GNU Software</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li> 2002-04-10: A new tutorial on using rsync to create a system of <a
|
|
href="http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/">rotating
|
|
backups</a>, by Mike Rubel.
|
|
|
|
<li>If you still don't know what rsync is, then take a look at the
|
|
<A HREF="https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/README">README</A>.
|
|
|
|
<li>There is now a python script that implements
|
|
<a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/unpacked/rsync/support/atomic-rsync">an
|
|
atomic update</a> of the received files at the end of the transfer (when pulling).
|
|
|
|
<li> Brian Elliott Finley has put together a great Linux install system based
|
|
on rsync. You you read about it at <a href="http://thefinleys.com/SystemImager/">http://thefinleys.com/SystemImager/</a>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.dirvish.com/">Dirvish</a> is a fast, disk based,
|
|
rotating network backup system that was originally written by JW Schultz.
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/">BackupPC</a>: a backup
|
|
system using rsync. Hard-links all identical files (even between multiple
|
|
runs and multiple backup sources), compresses the files, provides an easy
|
|
interface to find and restore files, etc.
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="https://github.com/CharlesMAtkinson/bung">Bung</a>: (BackUp Next
|
|
Generation) backs up files, MariaDB, OpenLDAP, postgres, etc. via an extensible
|
|
templates system with git support. The rsync-based "rolling full" backup is
|
|
easy to browse and restore from using everyday tools.
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="http://hacks.dlux.hu/drsync/">drsync</a>: a wrapper for rsync
|
|
that remembers file sets between invocations so that a 2-way synchronization
|
|
of two systems is possible.
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="http://rsyncbackup.erlang.no/">rsyncbackup</a>: a helper
|
|
script that uses config files to setup multiple backup scenarios and
|
|
invokes rsync (or rsyncX on macOS).
|
|
|
|
<li>Users who use the new character-set conversion option of rsync (--iconv)
|
|
may want to check into the <a href="http://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/man/">convmv</a>
|
|
package that lets you convert the names of already-transferred files into a
|
|
new characterset (for when you want to change or normalize the characterset
|
|
of a hierarchy of files).
|
|
|
|
<li>For those wanting to use launchd to run an rsync daemon (e.g. Mac
|
|
OS X Tiger users), Glen Scott provides the necessary
|
|
<a href="http://www.designsolution.co.uk/resources/rsync/">rsync.plist</a>
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
<li>For the developer wanting to work on a branched rsync version based on
|
|
one of the diffs in the patches dir, you may want to check into Matt's
|
|
<a href="http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/myrsync/index.html#patchsync">patchsync</a>
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
<!--#include virtual="doc-resources.html" -->
|
|
|
|
<li>There are a few choices for making rsync work with OS X's resource forks.
|
|
One is the official apple patch found on their opendarwin site, such as
|
|
<a href="http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4/rsync-20">this one</a>
|
|
(I've heard patch inefficiently transfers the entire resource fork information
|
|
for every file on every transfer.) Another choice is to use a third-party
|
|
adapted rsync, such as
|
|
<a href="http://archive.macosxlabs.org/rsyncx/rsyncx.html">rsyncx</a> or a
|
|
<a href="http://www.quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode">rsync+hfsmode
|
|
patch</a> by D Andrew Reynhout. For the future, I would like to see an rsync
|
|
that supports ACLs and Posix xattrs adapted to interact with resource forks in
|
|
a seamless way (if that's possible).
|
|
|
|
<li>Piero Orsoni wrote a GTK-based GUI for rsync called
|
|
<a href="http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/">grsync</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>Those interested in using an rsync daemon over SSL may be interested in
|
|
<a href="http://dozzie.jarowit.net/trac/wiki/RsyncSSL">this wiki page</a>
|
|
that outlines a way to use a modern, simplified stunnel setup.
|
|
|
|
<li>Thomas Roessler has written an rsync wrapper for
|
|
<a href="ftp://riemann.iam.uni-bonn.de/pub/users/roessler/cvslock/">efficient,
|
|
safe CVS mirroring</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>Rsync is distributed with the
|
|
<a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/unpacked/rsync/support/rrsync">rrsync python script</a>
|
|
that lets you restrict the rsync commands that can be run via ssh. (This is
|
|
a enhanced and reworked version of Joe Smith's original perl version.)
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="mailto:LEakin@Nostrum.COM">Lee Eakin</a> has written a <a href="rsync_wrapper.pl">perl wrapper for rsync</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>A wire-compatible <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~cbarratt/">rsync implementation in perl</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>A <a href="http://www.srehttp.org/apps/rxrsync/">REXX implementation of rsync</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>An initial version of a <a href="http://www.kolosy.com/wordpress/?p=8">rewrite of rsync for .Net</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>You might want to check out an encryption program that is being developed
|
|
to produce more rsync-friendly output:
|
|
<a href="http://rsyncrypto.lingnu.com/">rsyncrypto</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>If you need a 2-way synchronization because both ends of the transfer may
|
|
be changing files, you may want to either look into a tool designed to do this
|
|
(e.g. <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/unison/">unison</a>), or you may
|
|
wish to use an external wrapper for rsync that keeps extra data about what was
|
|
in the last transfer so that it can figure out if a file is new or deleted
|
|
(e.g. <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/drsync/">drsync</a>).
