Live as system engineer some day we need to copy or backup files from one server to another server, we need to keep the consistence of files and just backup the file that does not exist, if we use standard method using ssh or scp we will do more effort, so we can use rsync to solve the challenge above.
Before we start to execute rsync command we need to use screen in other our command not stop due network issue :
[root@localhost ~]# screen [root@localhost ~]#
In screen app we execute the command with pattern like this :
rsync [options] [username@address:/path/] [/destination_path/]
Contoh :
rsync --bwlimit=10000 -aulzhRe ssh --progress [email protected]:/data/docker-data/./ /data/docker-data/
Output yang dihasilkan :
root@xcozy:/data# rsync --bwlimit=10000 -aulzhRe ssh --progress [email protected]:/data/docker-data/./ /data/docker-data/ [email protected]'s password: bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change

if we need any help how to use rsync command, we can execute rsync –help to show the manuals :
maswachid@xcozy:~$ rsync --help
rsync version 3.1.3 protocol version 31
Copyright (C) 1996-2018 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.
Web site: http://rsync.samba.org/
Capabilities:
64-bit files, 64-bit inums, 64-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints,
socketpairs, hardlinks, symlinks, IPv6, batchfiles, inplace,
append, ACLs, xattrs, iconv, symtimes, prealloc

General Public Licence for details.
rsync is a file transfer program capable of efficient remote update
via a fast differencing algorithm.
Usage: rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
or rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST:DEST
or rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST::DEST
or rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST
or rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC [DEST]
or rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]
or rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC [DEST]
The ':' usages connect via remote shell, while '::' & 'rsync://' usages connect
to an rsync daemon, and require SRC or DEST to start with a module name.

maswachid@xcozy:~$If you want rsync push the file. you can use following command
rsync --bwlimit=800 -aulzhRe ssh --progress /data/./ [email protected]:/home/data/
If you want rsync with not default ssh port, add the port option and number on ssh part
rsync --bwlimit=800 -aulzhRe 'ssh -p 221' --progress /data/./ [email protected]:/home/data/
if you have any question, you can leave comment on following comment box, thank you
