To copy all the files in \/home\/lokams\/* of remote host to local directory \/backup\/home\/lokams\/
\n# rsync -e ssh -avz –delete –exclude dir\/* –delete-excluded –stats user@remotehost:\/home\/lokams\/ \/backup\/home\/lokams\/<\/p>\n
To copy the directory \/home\/lokams of remote host to local directory \/backup\/home. Directory “lokams” will get created in \/backup\/home.
\n# rsync -e ssh -avz –delete –exclude-from=~\/.rsync\/excludeFile –delete-excluded –stats user@remotehost:\/home\/lokams \/backup\/home\/<\/p>\n
To ignore the permissions errors while copying to remote windows\/mac systems, use “-rlt” option.
\n# rsync -e ssh -avz –delete –exclude dir\/* –delete-excluded –stats -rlt user@remotehost:\/home\/lokams\/ \/backup\/home\/lokams\/<\/p>\n
rsync behaves differently if the source directory has a trailing slash. Study and learn the difference between the following two commands before moving on. Use the -n option to rsync when testing to preview what would happen.<\/p>\n
$ rsync -n -av \/tmp .
\n$ rsync -n -av \/tmp\/ .<\/p>\n
