It may be used to + synchronize large file hierarchies bidirectionally by exchanging patch files. + Syrep is truely peer-to-peer, no central servers are involved. + Synchronizations between more than two repositories are supported. The patch + files may be transferred via offline media, e.g. removable hard disks or + compact discs. + . + Files are tracked by their message digests, currently MD5. The following file + operations are tracked in the snapshot files: creation, deletion, + modification, creation of new hard or symbolic links, renaming. (The latter is + nothing more than a new hard link and removal of the old file). syrep doesn't + distuinguish between soft and hard links. In fact even copies of files are + treated as the same. Currently, syrep doesn't synchronize file attributes like + access modes or modification times. + . + Syrep was written to facilitate the synchronization of two large digital music + repositories without direct network connection. Patch files of several + gigabytes are common in this situation. + . + Syrep is able to cope with 64 bit file sizes. (LFS) + . + Syrep is optimized for speed. It may make use of a message digest cache to + accelerate the calculation of digests of a whole directory hierarchy. |
