Have seen some references to rsync in the toasters. I looked at their web page and in the process of building it. How do you folks feel about it?
In general, it rocks. One potential gotcha that I saw with older versions is that the rsync process's memory use could balloon up if you were trying to have it process a large number of files. You also have to think carefully about the 'include' and 'exclude' syntax, if you want to use those features; it probably pays to make a couple of dry runs (-n) before firing it up for real.
