I didn’t know about openrsync until recently — been using rsync for years and somehow missed it!
openrsync is a lightweight rsync replacement developed by the OpenBSD team.
It focuses on security, simplicity, and a small footprint.
While not yet feature-complete compared to GNU rsync, it supports common
use cases like recursive copying, preserving permissions, and syncing over SSH.
Originally introduced in OpenBSD 6.5 (May 2019)
