I have two machines that are almost mirrors of each other. In fact, I would like one of their directories to be mirrors of each other. What's a good way to mirror to machine's folders? I'm thinking rsync or unison. But maybe there's something else?
I'm more familiar with rsync than unison. One of its advantages is that it is very fast, which is good, because I have lots of data, several TB, but only a small amount that changes (a few scores of GB). The big disadvantage to rsync is that it doesn't haven't moves/renames very well. That is, if I move file foo.txt from directory ./pending to ./finished on a remote machine, rsync will delete the local copy of./pending/foo.txt and then copy over the file ./finished/foot.txt. Is that issue just the nature of the beast of syncing two folders or does other software (e.g. unison) handle that better?
