-====== Backups - Synchronize files in a directory between 2 hosts ======
-Synchronize files in a directory between 2 hosts using the program rsync.
-<code bash>
-rsync -av --delete --rsh="ssh -c arcfour -l root" host1.domain.lan:/disk01/ /disk01/

-  * **-a**:  The files are transferred in "archive" mode, which ensures that symbolic links, devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships, etc. are preserved in the transfer.
-  * **-v**:  Increase verbosity.
-  * **--delete**:  The destination is always made to look like the source even if files need to be deleted in the destination.  The source's data is never touched.
-  * This uses ssh as the remote-shell program as the transport.
-  * **-c** arcfour:  Turns on the lowest grade encryption to speed up the transfer.
-  * **-l** root:  Specifies the user to log in as on the remote machine.
-  * The source is always named first
-    * host1's /disk01 (source) is the remote host
-  * The destination is always named second.
-    * /disk01 (destination) is a local directory.
-  * Trailing / on the source means copy the contents of this directory to the destination.  Without the trailing / the source gets the directory name copied with all it's files in it.
