rsync is a fast and versatile file-copying tool which can copy locally
and to/from a remote host. It offers many options to control its behavior,
and its remote-update protocol can minimize network traffic to make
transferring updates between machines fast and efficient.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
