#### Visual rsync folder mirror & differential sync with safe backup archives

A visual Linux alternative to RoboMirror for differential folder mirroring,
pre-sync dry-run change previews, and timestamped safety backup archives
powered by real rsync. Independent open-source tool, not affiliated with,
sponsored by, or endorsed by RoboMirror.

FEATURES
• Task Setup & Dry-Run Change Preview: Configure Source and Destination
folders, choose sync mode (Mirror exact with --delete, Update newer only,
or Copy new only), enable timestamped Backup Archives (--backup
--backup-dir) so overwritten or deleted files are never lost, set
checksum verification, bandwidth caps (KB/s), and include/exclude masks.
Inspect exact planned CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE, MKDIR, and BACKUP entries
parsed from real rsync --dry-run --itemize-changes before running.
• Live Output & Sync Execution History: Stream real-time rsync progress,
transferred byte stats, executed CLI command, and persistent sync run
history with CSV export.
• Sync Profiles & Schedule Presets: Save reusable sync profiles in JSON,
trigger one-click dry-run or sync, generate cron/systemd schedule lines,
and export diff reports as CSV.
