Awesome useful rsync convenience wrapper for Python 3.
Does the heavy lifting of finding potential problems, plus detects potential moves.
We recommend using PyPy, which appears to operate order(s) of magnitude faster during the (inefficient) file tree computations.
pip install rsyncrThis includes the following dependencies: typing_extensions, textdistance, but would also make use of fuzzywuzzy, StringDist, brew-distance, edit-distance, editdistance-s or editdistance if installed.
rsyncr always operates on the current folder.
You only specify the target folder (plus options).
rsyncr <target-path> [options]
with options:

This rsync-wrapper simplifies backing up the current directory tree.
Syntax: rsyncr <target-path> [options]
target-path is either a local folder /path or Drive:\path or a remote path [rsync://][user@]host:/path
using Drive: - use the drive's current folder (Windows only)
using Drive:\~ - use full source path on target drive
Copy mode options (default: update):
--add -a Immediately copy only additional files (otherwise add, and update modified)
--sync -s Remove files in target if removed in source, including empty folders
--del -d Only remove files, do not add nor update
--simulate -n Don't actually sync, stop after simulation
--estimate Estimate copy speed
--file <file path> Transfer a single local file instead of synchronizing a folder
--user <user name> -u Manual remote user name specification, unless using user@host notation
--skip-move Do not compute potential moves
Interactive options:
--ask -i In case of dangerous operation, ask user interactively
--force-foldername -f Sync even if target folder name differs
--force -y Sync even if deletions or moved files have been detected
--force-copy Force writing over existing files
Generic options:
--flat -1 Don't recurse into sub folders, only operate on current folder
--checksum -C Full file comparison using checksums
--compress -c Compress data during transport, handle many files better
--verbose -v Show more output
--help -h Show this information
Special options:
--with-checksums corrupDetect compatibility: if set, .corrupdetect files are not ignored
- Update the version in
pyproject.toml

1: > received, . unchanged or modified (cf. below), c local change, * message, e.g. deleted, h hardlink, * = message following (no path)
2: f file, d directory, L symlink, D device, S special

-r --recursive recursive
-R --relative preserves full path
-u --update skip files newer in target (to avoid unnecessary write operations)
-i --itemize-changes Show results (itemize - necessary to allow parsing)
-t --times keep timestamps
-S --sparse sparse files handling
-b --backup make backups using the "~~" suffix (into folder hierarchy), use --backup-dir and --suffix to modify base backup dir and backup suffix. A second sync will remove backups as well!
-h --human-readable ...
-c --checksum compute checksum, don't use name, time and size
--stats show traffic stats
--existing only update files already there
--ignore-existing stronger than -u: don't copy existing files, even if older than in source
--prune-empty-dirs on target, if updating
-z, --compress --compress-level=9
