This script allows you to migrate a Linux Server from one server to another one. It uses rsync and it could be use when you need to resize down a server for example, or if you want to migrate onto another Cloud Provider.

<span style="color: #ff0000;">/usr/local/bin</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">/usr/local/sbin</span> /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin
Then, unzip this precompiled rsync into /usr/local/bin
Restart the Terminal and run
rsync --version
This should be the output:
