'he main reason to exec*te sync commands in the bac!gro*nd is to synchronize m*lti&le

sched*le daily or wee!ly sync o&erations to be &erformed at a s&ecific time of the day. 'he

'he real2time file synchronization ca&abilities are es&ecially *sef*l when the amo*nt of file

'he most balanced a&&roach for s*ch sit*ations is a combination of &eriodic file
synchronization with real2time dis! change monitoring config*red to trigger the file
synchronization command after a *ser2s&ecified n*mber of changes. 6n this way> if the
amo*nt of file system changes is below the threshold defined in the real2time dis! change
