so you basically have a copy of your media library on a local machine?
No, I only have new files on my local machine, and as I collect new stuff I move them to my server with rsync and just remove it onthe local machine.
Rsync is more than smart enough to, if you keep same folder structure to easilly move the files to the server without you having to manually copy other each file.
sounds good, do you have any docs on how to do that?
Don't really have some rn. Will make a page on my wiki and link it to you later with some basic examples.
Here is the link to the wiki page I created: rsync
The most important part for you is the last one, but I would recomend to read it whole to understand how rsync works a bit.
Great! Thanks a lot, this will help
