I recently decided it was time to run rsync as a server for doing 
nightly local backups.

I tried to follow the local manpage for this and there was just too much 
jumping around to figure it out.  So off to linux.die.net.

But even then, I did not get how simple it really is to set up the 
password file.  I have to ask for help on that; I was overthinking 
things.  All to common for me!

So getting the -a option for cp was easy with the manpage.
Setting up an rsync server, not so much....

Then there was figuring out that -v in rsync was all I needed to see 
WHAT files were altered.  THAT was not obvious at all to me!

Each challenge is a learning opportunity!
