Projects / DirSync

DirSync

DirSync is a directory synchronizer that takes a source and destination directory as arguments and recursively ensures that the two directories are identical. It can be used to create incremental copies of large chunks of data. For example, if your file server's contents are in the directory /data, you can make a copy in a directory called /backup with the command "dirsync /data /backup." The first time you run it, all data will be copied. On subsequent runs, only the changed files are copied.

        New Feature Suggestion/ Windoze uses
        First, Micro$oft windows users:

        Note that this works OUT of the box from the zip file version on windoze. I personally leave it in the same directory on all my machines

        C:\program files\util\dirsync

        Second, it would be great if we could have a new option, say -l (or Log) which would take also imply a -v9. The -L(og) option would write a detailed log of all actions to a file named dirsync.MMYYDD or something similar...

        This application is not a subset of rsync

        because the purpose is different , is a small utility

        that syncronize 2 directory not only on Unix

        machine but also in Win32 and even MSDOS,

        the main purpose is to mirror data from 2 system

        for example one server and one notebook or

        one production server and one backup server.

        Oh, how did I miss that? Infact, now I think I need to check

        this out as I might put it to use on a windoze box.
