rsync can be used as a method to intelligently copy or backup files from one location to another. For example, within a music library, all music files may be located within an artist folder, with an album subdirectory. If you have an external hard drive that serves as a backup of your music then manually updating the music, even when copies merge directories, can be an error prone and time consuming task best left to automation. However, rsync can be used to scan all of the files in your music library, as well as the subdirectories, and to add only the ones that are not present on the external hard drive.
