-====== Backups - Synchronize files in a directory between 2 hosts ======
-Synchronize files in a directory between 2 hosts using the program rsync.
-host1's /disk01 (source) is the remote host and /disk01 (destination) is a local directory. The destination is always made to look like the source even if files need to be deleted in the destination (--delete). The source's data is never touched. The source is always named first and the destination is always named second. Trailing / on the source as means copy the contents of this directory to the destination. Without the trailing / on the source you get the directory name copied with all it's files in it. Below uses ssh as the remote-shell program as the transport. It also turns on the lowest grade encryption to speed up the transfer.
