-<note important>rsync functions different than users might expect with regards to trailing slashes; careful use of them is needed to ensure data is copied correctly.

This can be seen for example in the difference between the /etc/ sync below, and the Apache rsync that follows.</note>+<note important>**rsync** functions different than users might expect with regards to trailing slashes; careful use of them is needed to ensure data is copied correctly.
