Usage: atomic-rsync [RSYNC-OPTIONS] HOST:/SOURCE/DIR/ /DEST/DIR/
atomic-rsync [RSYNC-OPTIONS] HOST::MOD/DIR/ /DEST/DIR/
This script lets you update a hierarchy of files in an atomic way by first
creating a new hierarchy (using hard-links to leverage the existing files),
and then swapping the new hierarchy into place. You must be pulling files
to a local directory, and that directory must already exist. For example:
atomic-rsync -av host:/remote/files/ /local/files/
This would make the transfer to the directory /local/files~new~ and then
swap out /local/files at the end of the transfer by renaming it to
/local/files~old~ and putting the new directory into its place. The
/local/files~old~ directory will be preserved until the next update, at
which point it will be deleted.
Do NOT specify this command:
atomic-rsync -av host:/remote/files /local/
... UNLESS you want the entire /local dir to be swapped out!
See the "rsync" command for its list of options. You may not use the
--link-dest or --compare-dest options (since this script uses --link-dest
to make the transfer efficient). Also, the destination directory cannot
be "/".
