About

Rsync is a command-line tool for creating backups in Linux systems. It assists with moving files, backing up local folders, SSH tunneling,^[4] delta-only synchronization, and so on. Grsync allows users to carry out these tasks via a graphical user interface, without needing to learn a complex set of command-line arguments for rsync. In some cases, it is easier to backup files with grsync than with rsync. Since version 1.3.0, Grsync has GTK-3 compatibility.
