What is rsync?
rsync: A file synchronisation command that copies only the differences between source and destination, over the network or locally. It resumes interrupted transfers and preserves permissions, so it is efficient for repeated backups and large datasets.
rsync: an example
rsync -avz data/ ubuntu@server:/data/ mirrors a local folder to a server, sending only new or changed files.
