There are 3 main syncing methods
- no flags - (size, modtime)
-
--size-only
(size) -
--checksum
(size, checksum)
Then there are the modifiers
-
--ignore-size
makes all of the above skip the size check -
--ignore-times
- uploads unconditionally (no checks)
Just in case you are wondering where these flags came from - they are all from rsync
…
--ignore-times
only works for uploads, it isn’t implemented for check
.
I hope that helps!
