    CCC produced a message suggesting they no longer provide bootable clones as of 10.15.6 ... which I know just came out. Is it REALLY over..? I found a video which alleged that: Sync Folder Pro+ ... which it appears uses Rsync as the 'engine' but has an advanced wrapper which manages the...

    Cleanest way to update rsync?

    i am using high sierra and rsync —version shows it’s version 2.6.9. What is the cleanest way to update to rsync 3.1? I don’t want to install home brew if possible and just want to update the cleanest and easiest way possible.

    Let me explain the scenario. I have a huge folder of documentaries on my internal HDD, and I also keep them backed up on my external drive. Let's say that one day, I decide to reorganize my documentaries on my local drive into neat categories (folders). I don't add any new files, I just move...

    GUI for Transmit-like local sync

    I realize Transmit is just a workalike for proper rsync in this mode, so I need a GUI for local->local rsync. I need this this a few times a year and SUCK at remembering switches. And no, I can't script it (properly) because my needs always change. Whether it's making an extra backup of my...
