# The rsync flags | |
# -a, --archive | |
# This is equivalent to -rlptgoD. It is a quick way of saying you want recursion and want to preserve almost | |
# everything (with -H being a notable omission). | |
# -u, --update | |
# This forces rsync to skip any files which exist on the destination and have a modified time that is newer than | |
# the source file. | |
# -t, --times | |
# This tells rsync to transfer modification times along with the files and update them on the remote system. | |
# -C, --cvs-exclude | |
# This is a useful shorthand for excluding a broad range of files that you often don't want to transfer between | |
# systems. It uses the same algorithm that CVS uses to determine if a file should be ignored. | |
# -v, --verbose | |
# increase verbosit | |
