plsync

Parallel local only rsync implementation in Rust.

Usage

$ cargo install plsync
$ plsync --progress test/src test/dest
[00:00:02] Enumerating 16.56 kentries at 6.97 kentries/sec [Copy phase]

Caveat

We do everything we can to make sure data loss is impossible, but despite our best efforts, it may still happen.

Please make sure your files files are backed up if necessary before using plsync on sensitive data.

Thank you for your understanding!

Features

• Easy to remember command line syntax.

• Print progress on one line, and erase it when done, thus avoiding flooding your terminal with useless noise.

• Unsurprising behavior: missing directories are created on the fly, files are only copied if:

  • destination is missing
  • destination exists but is older than the source
  • or source and destination have different sizes

Command line options

• --no-perms do not preserve permissions (no-op on Windows)
• --dry-run perform a trial run with no changes made
• --progress show progress during transfer
• --stats give some file-transfer stats
• --delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs (not yet implemented)
• --delete-before receiver deletes before xfer, not during
• --delete-after receiver deletes after transfer, not during
• --parallelism maximum number of sync jobs (0 for number of online processors) [default: 0]
• --log-level set the log level [default: error] [possible values: error, warn, info, debug, trace]
• --exclude exclude files matching EXCLUDE
• --help print help
• --version print version
