If you are looking for a way to Rsync a Windows machine to your Linux server, or visa versa, then you have come to the right place! This is a fast and efficient way to syncronize files between your web server and your PC. Only the files that have changes are synchronized saving you time and bandwidth.

Preamble
I have created this page to help others who wish to use Rsync to backup M$ Windows based machines to Linux Servers or to other Windows Workstations/Servers. I hope you find this example useful. It is tried and tested. Once installed and setup, syncing is as easy as running the following command:
rsync -av –delete loginname@domainname.com:”/home/loginname/www/” “/home/foyleman/loginname/”
