[LUG] Rsync with audio/video files

 

Hi folks,

A friend of mine has mentioned a backup solution he currently has for
backing up a load of audio and video files between two servers over the
internet.

Basically what he wants to do is send over only files that have changed.
The audio files are uncompressed WAV files and the video is standard
MPEG2 format video.

I wondered if this is something that rsync would be able to do?

Some of the audio files do occasionally have changes, such as trimming a
bit of silence off the end of the file or adding audio to the end of it.
I know technically it is seen as data but I wondered if rsync would
successfully be able to send over the differences in files?

Ta,

Rob
