Introduction

Real-time/timing data synchronization tool based on rsync

Use scene

3. In other projects that require real-time file synchronization
4. Data backup

Glossary:

[Sync method] Increment: Synchronize when data is changed/increased, and only add and replace files

[Sync method] Mirror: Keep the data at both ends consistent with the dir structure, The following operations will be sync: delete, append and replace files and directories

[Sync cycle] Real-time: Real-time monitoring of file and directory status, once there is a change, the synchronization task will be executed immediately

[Sync cycle] Timing : scan files and directories at regular intervals for changes, and perform synchronization tasks when changes are detected

Add a receiving task

Add a receiving task on the server that receives the data and get the sync key Note: please make sure the [Sync to] directory is empty, if there are files/dirs, please make a backup to prevent the data loss of the receiving server after selecting the mirror mode in the sending task

Add sending tasks

Add sending tasks to the data source server

After the setup is complete, check whether your two servers are configured correctly and then click the sync button to activate synchronization
