  • Transfers only the changed parts of files, so repeat syncs are fast
  • Preserves permissions, links and attributes, which makes it safe for system trees
  • Near real-time mirroring triggered by filesystem events
  • Uses standard rsync and SSH for transfers
  • No versioning or snapshots on its own; --delete destroys without warning
  • Command-line only, with a long list of subtle flags
  • One-way mirroring rather than two-way sync
  • Command-line and config-file only, no GUI
