Great Tool - Version: 2.1, 3/30/2007 12:34PM PST

Rsyncx works fine, and has done so better since os x 10.1 , now with 10.4
It is very easy, but does seem complicated because of the power of rsync anyway with remote servers.
Rsync allows you to easily generate scripts to fire off at any time.

Everything went very smoothly for my Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook. I can even boot up from it!
Let me add a couple of troubleshooting tips. I found the following script to work nicely to copy (and then update) my IPhoto library from my laptop to a machine on the local network. I hardwired my IP address due to some local network issues.
time rsync -a -c -z -e ssh "Pictures/iPhoto Library/" John@192.168.0.7:Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/ --eahfs --showtogo
Two errors to be aware of:
First, you have to enable remote user logins (with all the security issues thereof) on the target machine (in Preferences sharing. Try just typing in "ssh john@192.168.0.7" into terminal to make sure you can get through, then fix the script accordiingly.
Second, you have to make sure the HFS version of rsync is running on both machines. OS/X ships with the non-HFS version (don't ask me why) in /usr/bin, and RsyncX installs the HFS version in your /usr/local/bin directory. Depending on the $Path variable, it may pick up either one. If you get the wrong version on either machine, you may get --eahfs not recognized or --showtogo not recognized. If you get this, you'll have to fix your path or copy the HfS version from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin.
