Problem

I am making a synchronization between a local and a remote folder. It happened that I lost one file by a stupid command. I am used to unison and to the way you confirm ("go?") before doing the actual file transfer. Is there such an option with rsync? (no unison on the server side) Thanks!

Fix for: make rsync wait for a confirmation before actually changing files

Low Risk

You can use the -n option with rsync to perform a dry run. rsync will tell you what operations it would have performed without actually doing them. If you're happy with the results, re-run without the -n option.
