[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync Rsync] is a popular tool for ensuring that two separate datasets are the same but can be quite slow if there are a lot of files or there is a lot of latency between the two sites, i.e. they are geographically apart or on different networks. Running rsync will check the modification time and size of each file, and will only transfer the file if one or the other does not match. If you expect modification times not to match on the two systems you can use the "-c" option, which will compute checksums at the source and destination, and transfer only if the checksums do not match. | [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync Rsync] is a popular tool for ensuring that two separate datasets are the same but can be quite slow if there are a lot of files or there is a lot of latency between the two sites, i.e. they are geographically apart or on different networks.
