15+ “rsync” Command Usage Examples in Linux

This tutorial explains Linux “rsync” command, options and its usage with examples.

rsync – remote sync

Description :

rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync remote­update protocol to greatly
speed up file transfers when the destination file already exists.

The  rsync  remote­update  protocol  allows  rsync  to  transfer  just  the  differences  between  two  sets  of  files  across  the  network  link,  using  an  efficient
checksum­search algorithm described in the technical report that accompanies this package.

Some of the additional features of rsync are:

1. Support for copying links, devices, owners, groups and permissions
2. Exclude and exclude­from options similar to GNU tar
3. A CVS exclude mode for ignoring the same files that CVS would ignore
4. Can use any transparent remote shell, including rsh or ssh
5. Does not require root privileges
6. Pipelining of file transfers to minimize latency costs
7. Support for anonymous or authenticated rsync servers (ideal for mirroring)

Usage :

rsync [OPTION]… SRC [SRC]… [USER@]HOST:DEST

rsync [OPTION]… [USER@]HOST:SRC DEST

rsync [OPTION]… SRC [SRC]… DEST

Examples :

1. Synchronize Two Directories in a Local Server

To sync two directories in a local computer, use the following rsync ­zvr command.

$ rsync ‐zvr /var/opt/installation/inventory/ /root/temp 
building file list ... done 
sva.xml 
svB.xml 

sent 26385 bytes  received 1098 bytes  54966.00 bytes/sec 
total size is 44867  speedup is 1.63 
  
$ ls ‐l /var/opt/installation/inventory/sva.xml /root/temp/sva.xml 
‐r‐‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 bin  bin  949 Jun 18  2009 /var/opt/installation/inventory/sva.xml 
‐r‐‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root bin  949 Sep  2  2009 /root/temp/sva.xml

Note: rsync doesnt preserve timestamps on sync.

2. Preserve timestamps during Sync using rsync ­a

rsync option ­a indicates archive mode.

$ rsync ‐azv /var/opt/installation/inventory/ /root/temp/
building file list ... done 
./ 
sva.xml 
svB.xml 

sent 26499 bytes  received 1104 bytes  55206.00 bytes/sec 
total size is 44867  speedup is 1.63 
  
$ ls ‐l /var/opt/installation/inventory/sva.xml /root/temp/sva.xml 
‐r‐‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root  bin  949 Jun 18  2009 /var/opt/installation/inventory/sva.xml 
‐r‐‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root  bin  949 Jun 18  2009 /root/temp/sva.xml

As you see above, rsync preserved timestamps during sync.

3. Synchronize Only One File
$ rsync ‐v /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys /root/temp/ 
Pubkeys 
  
sent 42 bytes  received 12380 bytes  3549.14 bytes/sec 
total size is 12288  speedup is 0.99

4. Synchronize Files From Local to Remote

$ rsync ‐avz /root/temp/ [email protected]:/home/abc/temp/ 
Password: 
building file list ... done 
./ 
rpm/ 
rpm/Basenames 
rpm/Conflictname 
  
sent 15810261 bytes  received 412 bytes  2432411.23 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 2.87

While  doing  synchronization  with  the  remote  server,  you  need  to  specify  username  and  ip­address  of  the  remote  server.  You  should  also  specify  the
destination directory on the remote server. The format is username@machinename:path

5. Synchronize Files From Remote to Local

When you want to synchronize files from remote to local, specify remote path in source and local path in target as shown below.

$ rsync ‐avz [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm /root/temp 
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
rpm/ 
rpm/Basenames 

sent 406 bytes  received 15810230 bytes  2432405.54 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 2.87

6. Remote shell for Synchronization

rsync allows you to specify the remote shell which you want to use. You can use rsync ssh to enable the secured remote connection. Use rsync ­e ssh to
specify which remote shell to use.

$ rsync ‐avz ‐e ssh [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm /root/temp 
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
rpm/ 
rpm/Basenames 
  
sent 406 bytes  received 15810230 bytes  2432405.54 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 2.87

7. Do Not Overwrite the Modified Files at the Destination

In a typical sync situation, if a file is modified at the destination, we might not want to overwrite the file with the old file from the source. Use rsync ­u option to
do exactly that.

$ ls ‐l /root/temp/Basenames 
total 39088 
‐rwxr‐xr‐x 1 root root        4096 Sep  2 11:35 Basenames
  
$ rsync ‐avzu [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm /root/temp
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
rpm/ 
  
sent 122 bytes  received 505 bytes  114.00 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 72258.31 
  
$ ls ‐lrt 
total 39088 
‐rwxr‐xr‐x 1 root root        4096 Sep  2 11:35 Basenames

8. Synchronize only the Directory Tree Structure (not the files)
$ rsync ‐v ‐d [email protected]:/var/lib/ . 
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
logrotate.status 
CAM/ 
YaST2/ 
acpi/ 
  
sent 240 bytes  received 1830 bytes  318.46 bytes/sec 
total size is 956  speedup is 0.46

9. View the rsync Progress during Transfer

rsync –progress option displays detailed progress of rsync execution as shown below.

$ rsync ‐avz ‐‐progress [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm/ /root/temp/ 
Password: 
receiving file list ... 
19 files to consider 
./ 
Basenames 
     5357568 100%   14.98MB/s    0:00:00 (xfer#1, to‐check=17/19) 
Conflictname 
       12288 100%   35.09kB/s    0:00:00 (xfer#2, to‐check=16/19) 



sent 406 bytes  received 15810211 bytes  2108082.27 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 2.87

10. Delete the Files Created at the Target

If a file is not present at the source, but present at the target, you might want to delete the file at the target during rsync. In that case, use –delete option as
shown below. rsync delete option deletes files that are not there in source directory.

# Source and target are in sync. Now creating new file at the target. 
$ > new‐file.txt 
  
$ rsync ‐avz ‐‐delete [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm/ . 
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
deleting new‐file.txt 
./ 
  
sent 26 bytes  received 390 bytes  48.94 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 108908.55

Target has the new file called new­file.txt, when synchronize with the source with –delete option, it removed the file new­file.txt

11. Do not Create New File at the Target

If you want this feature, use –existing option with rsync command.

First, add a new­file.txt at the source.

$ > new‐file.txt

Next, execute the rsync from the target.

$ rsync ‐avz ‐‐existing [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm/ . 
[email protected]'s password: 
receiving file list ... done 
./ 
  
sent 26 bytes  received 419 bytes  46.84 bytes/sec 
total size is 88551424  speedup is 198991.96

If you see the above output, it didn’t receive the new file new­file.txt

12. View the Changes Between Source and Destination

This option is useful to view the difference in the files or directories between source and destination.

At the source:

$ ls ‐l /var/lib/rpm 
‐rw‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root root  5357568 2010‐06‐24 08:57 Basenames 
‐rw‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root root    12288 2008‐05‐28 22:03 Conflictname 
‐rw‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root root  1179648 2010‐06‐24 08:57 Dirnames
At the destination:

$ ls ‐l /root/temp 
‐rw‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root root    12288 May 28  2008 Conflictname 
‐rw‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 bin  bin   1179648 Jun 24 05:27 Dirnames 
‐rw‐r‐‐r‐‐ 1 root root        0 Sep  3 06:39 Basenames

In the above example, between the source and destination, there are two differences. First, owner and group of the file Dirname differs. Next, size differs for
the file Basenames.

Now let us see how rsync displays this difference. ­i option displays the item changes.

$ rsync ‐avzi [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm/ /root/temp/ 
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
>f.st.... Basenames 
.f....og. Dirnames 
  
sent 48 bytes  received 2182544 bytes  291012.27 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 20.76

In  the  output  it  displays  some  9  letters  in  front  of  the  file  name  or  directory  name  indicating  the  changes.  In  our  example,  the  letters  in  front  of  the
Basenames (and Dirnames) says the following:

> specifies that a file is being transferred to the local host. 
f represents that it is a file. 
s represents size changes are there. 
t represents timestamp changes are there. 
o owner changed 
g group changed.

13. Include and Exclude Pattern during File Transfer

rsync allows you to give the pattern you want to include and exclude files or directories while doing synchronization.

$ rsync ‐avz ‐‐include 'P*' ‐‐exclude '*' [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm/ /root/temp/ 
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
./ 
Packages 
Providename 
Provideversion 
Pubkeys 
  
sent 129 bytes  received 10286798 bytes  2285983.78 bytes/sec 
total size is 32768000  speedup is 3.19

In the above example, it includes only the files or directories starting with ‘P’ (using rsync include) and excludes all other files. (using rsync exclude ‘*’ )

14. Do Not Transfer Large Files

You can tell rsync not to transfer files that are greater than a specific size using rsync –max­size option.

$ rsync ‐avz ‐‐max‐size='100K' [email protected]:/var/lib/rpm/ /root/temp/ 
Password: 
receiving file list ... done 
./ 
Conflictname

Installtid

Sha1header 
Sigmd5 
Triggername 
  
sent 252 bytes  received 123081 bytes  18974.31 bytes/sec 
total size is 45305958  speedup is 367.35

max­size=100K makes rsync to transfer only the files that are less than or equal to 100K. You can indicate M for megabytes and G for gigabytes.

15. Transfer the Whole File

One of the main feature of rsync is that it transfers only the changed block to the destination, instead of sending the whole file.

If network bandwidth is not an issue for you (but CPU is), you can transfer the whole file, using rsync ­W option. This will speed­up the rsync process, as it
doesn’t have to perform the checksum at the source and destination.

15. Do a Dry Run with rsync

If you are a newbie and using rsync and don’t know what exactly your command going do. Rsync could really mess up the things in your destination folder
and then doing an undo can be a tedious job.
Use of this option will not make any changes only do a dry run of the command and shows the output of the command, if the output shows exactly same
you want to do then you can remove ‘–dry­run‘ option from your command and run on the terminal.

$ rsync ‐‐dry‐run ‐‐remove‐source‐files ‐zvh backup.tar /tmp/backups/

sent 35 bytes  received 15 bytes  100.00 bytes/sec 
  
total size is 16.18M  speedup is 323584.00 (DRY RUN)

16. Set Bandwidth Limit and Transfer File

You can set the bandwidth limit while transferring data from one machine to another machine with the the help of ‘–bwlimit‘ option. This options helps us to
limit I/O bandwidth.

$ rsync ‐‐bwlimit=100 ‐avzhe ssh  /var/lib/rpm/  [email protected]:/root/tmprpm/

sent 324 bytes  received 12 bytes  61.09 bytes/sec 
total size is 38.08M  speedup is 113347.05

Also, by default rsync syncs changed blocks and bytes only, if you want explicitly want to sync whole file then you use ‘­W‘ option with it.

$ rsync ‐zvhW backup.tar /tmp/backups/backup.tar

sent 14.71M bytes  received 31 bytes  3.27M bytes/sec 
total size is 16.18M  speedup is 1.10

Testimonials

It  was  a  wonderful  course,  a  thorough  study  through  the  bits  and  pieces  of  Storage  Devices  and  the  other  advancements  in  the  SAN  technology  which  was  very
informative for me. Well prepared slides, practical thoughts and fully interactive class.
— Milind ­ Microsoft

The depth of C coverage, the common pitfalls, the presentation by Manish and his pace were all remarkable. Gave a clear picture of the inner working of C language
design.
— Shivanshu ­ Netapp

The course was well designed and coverage was satisfactorily deep. The linux programming assignments were designed to get a feel of real time issues and covered
lot of areas of uncertainty. The project work suggested at the end of the course was invaluable.
— Somenath ­ EMC
