Using Grsync to set up a backup job via GUI, can I see the rsync command it created?

Question

Is there a way to view the actual command that grsync ends up running?

The idea is to setup a backup job in Grsync, exactly as I want it with all the options, and subsequently use the command to have it run by cron for regular backups.

Answer 1

Yes you can! Grsync is actually a great GUI tool to generate grsync commands.

How to see the command you created via GUI in Grsync

1. Create your backup via GUI in Grsync
2. Once that is done, choose: File > Rsync command line

That's it. now the command you created via gui is displayed. Just copy it to use in cron or whatever procedure you use to make backups.
