    Great for synchronizing large collections of media files such as MP3s, Videos, etc... without copying every file. Save time by only copying the files that are new or different. Use "Clone Mode" to synchronize a folder to match a master folder.

    Lsyncd watches a local directory trees event monitor interface (inotify or fsevents). It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one (or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes. By default this is rsync.
