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? [SupremeXeN.com KommandEr] How to do it with windows: Download all the files with the instructions and the full batch file: http://supremexen.com/download-wikit-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. <<categories>> Glossary | File | Backup
