The application is for advanced Linux/Unix users who want to copy data to/from a remote server using rsync (don't install it if you know nothing about rsync and SSH). It supports Remote Notifier notifications and provides Locale/Tasker plug-in, which helps in automating backups.
This application is BETA! In case of problems, please contact me via email instead of giving it low rating. I'll do my best to support your device too. Feature request are also welcomed.

Nice! Warning: make good use of dry-run, rsync can recursively delete everything in your your target directory very quickly if you're not careful.

Works over USB too. Using Share natwork and sync to 192.168.100.100. (hTC hero)

It actually works. Seems a bit slow over WiFi but manageable.

Great app! Easy to setup! Is a cron job feature coming next??? That would make this one of the best apps out there.

Depends on a file manager and remote notifications. Ssh exits with string too long error. It would be nice to schedule and select net interface.
