Support the channel: https://patreon.com/VeronicaExplains https://ko-fi.com/VeronicaExplains https://thestopbits.bandcamp.com Here's a companion blog post, where I cover a bit more detail: https://vkc.sh/everyday-rsync Also, @BreadOnPenguins made an awesome rsync video and you should check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eifQI5uD6VQ Lastly, I left out all of the ssh setup stuff because I made a video about that and the blog post goes into a smidge more detail. If you want to see a video covering the basics of using SSH, I made one a few years ago and it's still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FKsdbjzBcc Chapters: 1:18 Invoking rsync 4:05 The --delete flag for rsync 5:30 Compression flag: -z 6:02 Using tmux and rsync together 6:30 but Veronica... why not use (insert shiny object here) #linux #homelab #sysadmin
