How to Tell if Rsync Is Working for Linux With Bind9?
Rsync is a syncing utility for Unix and Linux systems that synchronizes content between two data locations. Rsync, by itself, is a run-once utility that syncs two locations to create an immediate backup. If you add the progress parameter to the tool, the results will be displayed as they happen and therefore you can see that it is working. To test rsync, simply run the application from the command-line and see the results. Rsync can sync an entire folder structure with one command. Bind9 is used in conjunction with domain name system (DNS) and Web servers.
