rsync Sync & Incremental Backup
Distro support
Single-tool skill: rsync is byte-for-byte identical on both families. The only
differences are the install package and the SSH server package for
rsync-over-SSH. Body uses Debian/Ubuntu; the RHEL family (Fedora, RHEL,
CentOS Stream, Rocky, Alma, Oracle) equivalents are in the matrix.
| Concept | Debian/Ubuntu | RHEL family |
|---|---|---|
| Install rsync | apt install rsync |
dnf install rsync |
| SSH server (for pull/push over SSH) | apt install openssh-server |
dnf install openssh-server |
| Daemon unit (rsyncd, rarely used) | rsync.service |
rsyncd.service |
rsync -a archive mode |
identical | identical |
--link-dest / --bwlimit / --checksum / --partial |
identical | identical |
| SELinux on the target | not enforcing | enforcing — restore contexts with restorecon -R after a cross-host copy |
