== About ==
Rsync is a command-line tool for creating backups in Linux systems. It assists with moving files, backing up local folders, SSH tunneling,<ref>{{Cite web|date=2009-07-20|title=Daten-Backup mit Grsync|url=https://www.freenet.de/digitalewelt/windowssoftware/datenbackup-mit-grsync_705146_4734250.html|access-date=2021-05-28|website=freenet.de Digital|language=de}}{{Dead link|date=November 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> 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.
