Grsync is a graphical tool developed on top of the world-famous rsync utility. Grsync helps Linux users to keep their system backed up without messing with the command line. I am using Linux Mint 20.1 while writing this guide. All instructions are valid for other apt-based distributions.<\/p>\n<h2>Installing Grsync<\/h2>\n<p>If HexChat is not installed on your system then execute the following command on your terminal to begin<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo apt install grsync<\/pre>\n<h2>Let\u2019s begin setting up Grsync<\/h2>\n<p>When you install Grsync it will look something like the following:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"437\" class=\"wp-image-10790\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-29.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-29.png 500w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-29-300x262.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We will begin how to take backups with advanced and extra options.<\/p>\n<h2>Advanced Options<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"511\" height=\"428\" class=\"wp-image-10791\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-30.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-30.png 511w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-30-300x251.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Grsync provides more than a dozen advanced options to take serious backups of directories on a Linux system. In our case, we will only use the following three.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Always checksum<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Compress file data<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Show itemized changes list<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All three do a great job to secure, minimize the size, and list the changes of a backup. They are absolute in any back-up in our honest opinion.<\/p>\n<p>You are always free to choose anything else and any additional options to further protect your backups.<\/p>\n<h2>Extra Options<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"440\" class=\"wp-image-10792\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-31.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-31.png 506w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/word-image-31-300x261.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In extra options, we love the second option of executing a command after rsync. Sometimes rsync fails to take a quality backup. At that time I needed to visit my backup folder immediately to check what\u2019s going wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of typing, I save the directory change command in Grsync to execute it directly whenever rsync leaves any error. You can also choose many other options according to your needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In this guide, we worked with Grsync advanced and extra options to create better backups. Grsync is a handy tool whenever it comes to taking backup of a local or a remote directory. It does not let the user down.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction In this guide, we are going to work with advanced configurations of Grsync.
