11 There are reasons why rsync is better than cp. The best one IMO is that rysnc
12 will not copy a corrupt file, while cp will. And rsync will tell you about the
13 corrupt file.
14
15 You have so many questions about rsync, and different opinions thrown at you.
16 Why do you not read "man rsync" and learn about it? This man page is thorough,
17 easy to read, and explains it's usage by examples.
