What is the advantage of using rsync over scp or sftp? On same list I have put up a problem of taking backup of an LVM. Which I mentioned here http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?26,135008,135251#msg-135251 I used rsync but I am not clear with what is the advantage of doing all this hard work. What I saw was a snapshot lvm was created which was mounted some where and I copied complete directory structure to some remote location. What is the advantage of all this hard work can simple scp or sftp not do the same thing?
