Alternatives utilities to rsync
Hi,
I am using rsync to copy files and links from one server to other (backup server).
The problem with rsync is that it is not copying the files and links in the order which i have mentioned.
It is sorting in alphabetical order before it is copying the files and links.
I want a utilty that copies the files in the order which i have mentioned.
Can any one suggest me in choosing an alternative tool to rsync.
when i have searched through the internet i have com across utilitys like bacula
amanda
TaskMaster
dar .........
and so on.
I dont know which one to select.
Can one help me .

rdiff(1) General Commands Manual rdiff(1)
NAME
rdiff - compute and apply signature-based file differences
SYNOPSYS
rdiff [options] signature old-file signature-file
rdiff [options] delta signature-file new-file delta-file
rdiff [options] patch basis-file delta-file new-file
USAGE
You can use rdiff to update files, much like rsync does. However, unlike rsync, rdiff puts you in control. There are three steps to
updating a file: signature, delta, and patch.
DESCRIPTION
In every case where a filename must be specified, - may be used instead to mean either standard input or standard output as appropriate.
Be aware that if you do this, you'll need to terminate your options with -- or rdiff will think you are passing it an empty option.
RETURN VALUE
0 for successful completion, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid options, IO error, etc), 2 for a corrupt file and 3 for
an internal error or unhandled situation in librsync or rdiff.
