Quick Usage Guide
Copying Files via SSH
To copy files from /export/backup to a remote location (on server 'backup'):
# rsync -avz /export/backup/ -e ssh backup:/export/backup/
## Or with a non-standard SSH port
# rsync -avz /export/backup/ -e "ssh -p 2222 backup:/export/backup/"
Copying files with Progress Information
# rsync -avh --progress /src/ /dst/
Copying Directories
Because I've been bitten by this issue way too many times in the past couple of days, to avoid copying a directory into another directory, always have a trailing slash from the source.
In more depth, suppose I have a 'src' directory and I want its contents to be replicated in 'dst'.
## This copies 'src' into 'dst/src'
# rsync -avh src dst
## This too copies 'src' into 'dst/src'
# rsync -avh src dst/
## Works as expected. Contents in src is now in dst
# rsync -avh src/ dst
## Works as expected as well
# rsync -avh src/ dst/
