Rsync Commands and Options.

[duckxtales]

Can someone please verify this is correct rsync command:

rsync --update --delete -avz -e ssh /home/veisi /home/ctownice /home/tbxmix /home/voiceout /home/eternals /home/parkblue /var /etc #*$!@x.com:server1

Also im not sure what the option avz is for. I dont see it in the man pages. -e means encrypt it via SSH right?

thx

From the rsync man page [rsync.samba.org]:

-a, --archive
-v, --verbose
-z, --compress

-e, --rsh=COMMAND

This option allows you to choose an alternative remote shell program to use for communication between the local and remote copies of rsync.
