More notes about diskrsync : (0) It seems to work well and efficiently. The README.md now explains how to install it and it's a lot easier than the script I included in my last note would seem to indicate. (I didn't and still don't know Go.) (1) Effectively

These responses have been very useful. Thanks especially to *Roland* devzero at web.de because...I'm installing diskrsync . So far it looks like it pretty much works. It's written in Go, which I hadn't used before. There was a bit of a learning curve there
