Introduction

collective.recipe.rsync is a zc.buildout recipe that makes it easy to synchronize data between two locations, via the rsync program.

It was originally created to make it easier to synchronize Data.fs files between production and development environments. But you can use it to synchronize any tree of data e.g. ZODB blob files, and so on.

Currently, it assumes you have a UNIX-based operating system and that the rsync binary is in your path when you run buildout.

Usage

Add a section for it to your buildout.cfg file, e.g. database:

[buildout]
extends = buildout.cfg
parts += database

[database]
recipe = collective.recipe.rsync
source = [e-mail]:/srv/aclark/var/filestorage/Data.fs
target = var/filestorage/Data.fs

Run buildout. You should see:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running rsync...
  rsync -av --partial --progress
[e-mail]:/srv/aclark/var/filestorage/Data.fs
var/filestorage/Data.fs
  this may take a while!
