  <title>Rsync-&rsync-version; Client</title>

  <para><command>rsync</command> is a utility for fast incremental file
  transfers. If you want to install it, the instructions can be found in Chapter
  22 &ndash; <xref linkend="rsync"/>.  Note that if you only want to use the
  client, you do <emphasis>not</emphasis> need to run the server and so do not
  need the startup script and links.  In accordance with good practice, only run
  the server if you actually need it (and if you don't know whether you need it
  or not, it's likely that you don't!).</para>
