An open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. It also has useful features for backup and restore operations among many other use cases.
It seems that rsync versions 3.1.3 and 3.2.7 are not compatible with each other. We tested different source systems (Linux/AIX) with rsync 3.1.3 and none of them were able to copy to rsync-3.2.7 systems, but rssync from rsync-3.2.7 to rsync-3.2.7 works as expected.
