rsync is a useful command-line application for copying or synchronizing files between two locations, both of which can be local or remote (via SSH).
rsync requires the remote host to have the rsync binary as well.rsync on Rocky Linux with Podman, copy /usr/bin/rsync to the remote.rsync on the local machine, pass --rsync-path /path/to/remote/rsync to use the binary you copied. Using this method, you can use rsync on any server you can SSH to even if you don’t have root.You can use the --link-dest option to hard-link unchanged files from another directory. This allows some pretty cool “incremental backup” possibilities.
