Introduction to Rsync and Inotify

Remote Synchronize (Rsync) is a remote data synchronization tool. It can quickly synchronize files between multiple servers through LAN/WAN or synchronize different directories in the local disks. This software is pre-installed in the SUSE Linux OS, and can be directly used.

Inotify is a Linux kernel subsystem, which monitors changes to the filesystem, such as file storing, extracting, deleting, moving, and modification. This software is not pre-installed in the SUSE Linux OS. You need to install it if necessary. You can obtain this tool at https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools.
