we are armed.
And, by the way, I really haven't learned what rsync is - I guess I
could 'search' and learn ;-)
it's a utility for transferring files, especially backing them up. so
I do a frequent backup of certain directories I have on a server to my
home computer. rsync is fast and will only make copies of stuff that's
not already at the destination (if you set it to work that way).
I think the 'r' stands for 'remote' but I don't know; the source
doesn't need to be 'remote' though. I just backed up one older
external drive I have (was making funny noises) to another newer one.

you are probably just joshing around but 'sync' has nothing to do with
'sink'; one is germanic, the other is greek.
'syn'+'chronos' as in 'synchronize'.
sometimes the spelling of words, like the syntax of directory paths,
matters.
(and 'syntax' has nothing to do with 'sin' or 'taxes'!)
'rsync' is a great utility; I assume it's available for Windows but I
don't know but there's certainly equivalent stuff.
