I've built a small script to help verify rsync operations. The goal is to provide a straightforward way to confirm that your rsync commands are working as expected and that data integrity is maintained during synchronization.
This script works by creating a temporary test directory, populating it with some files, and then copying it using rsync to a designated destination. After the copy, it calculates checksums for all files in both the source and destination directories and compares them. If any checksums do not match, it indicates a potential issue with the rsync operation.
This can be particularly useful in situations where you might be experimenting with rsync commands generated by AI tools or when dealing with critical data transfers where absolute certainty is required. It’s a simple check to give you peace of mind that your files have been transferred accurately.
If you're looking for a way to add an extra layer of verification to your rsync workflows, this script might be helpful.
