rsync is a clever algorithm for synchronizing files in a way that is bandwidth efficient. It was invented by [Andrew Tridgell] and [Paul Mackeras]. It is described here:
http://rsync.samba.org/tech_report/
''rsync'' is also a program that implements the algorithm.
NasBackup [http://www.nasbackup.com/] is an Open Source Tcl/Tk application that provides a GUI layer on top of rsync.
[CMcC] notes that rsync can be used to backup a frequently changing database, for example by:
rsync rsync://wiki.tcl.tk/wiki/wikit.tkd .
One would have to repeat the rsync until no changes were sent, though. Is there some return value from rsync that tells you how much work it had to do?
[RLH] Are there any other Tcl/Tk guis for rsync?

Synopsis:
Ran the installer
cwRsync_2.0.10_Installer.zip
Then found the example batch file, modified it by adding one line at the end:
rsync rsync://wiki.tcl.tk/wiki/wikit.tkd .
And then just ran the batch file
wikit-rsync.cmd
I renamed it with a .txt extension as well so it's not run by mistake.
