as often as every minute.
If you truly want constantly, put it in an endless loop such as a
while true; do
rsync -options etc.
done
Since true is designed to always return true, this creates a never ending loop.
As soon as the command finishes, the loop repeats, rerunning the command
immediately.
These things are generally not advised, as they can create quite a processor
load.

-u which will grab any file that has a newer timestamp OR a different
size
or
--ignore-existing
This tells rsync to skip updating files that already exist on the
destination (this does not ignore existing directories,
or nothing would get done).
This option is a transfer rule, not an exclude, so it doesn't
affect the data that goes into the file-lists, and thus it
doesn't affect deletions. It just limits the files that the
receiver requests to be transferred.
--ignore existing will ensure that the already-handled files
don't get tweaked (which avoids a change in permissions on
the hard-linked files). This does mean that this option is only
looking at the existing files in the destination hierar-
chy itself.
