rsync tutorial for newbies
Hi. Learning rsync from the man pages can be daunting. I wrote this tutorial to make learning rsync easier:
rsync tutorial (rsync2u)
The rsync tutorial is for new rsync users. Three small backup examples thoroughly explain rsync --link-dest, --recursive, and --exlcude-from options.
Enjoy.
