Grsync is a rsync GUI (Graphical User Interface). Rsync is the well-known and powerful command line directory and file synchronization tool. Grsync makes use of the GTK libraries and is released under the GPL license, so it is opensource. It doesn't need the gnome libraries to run, but can of course run under gnome pretty fine. It can be effectively used to synchronize local directories and it supports remote targets as well (even though it doesn't support browsing the remote folder). Sample uses of grsync include: synchronize a music collection with removable devices, backup personal

Does Grsync pass all the Backup Bouncer Tests?
See http://www.n8gray.org/code/backup-bouncer/
You can follow theses instructions here (slightly outdated though) :
http://www.bombich.com/rsync.html
Or, you can try the excellent mlbackup :
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27904/mlbackup
mlbackup will install it's own rsync, precompiled for Mac OS X.
In fact, installing mlbackup is probably the easiest way to update rsync.
You will find it in /usr/local/maclemon/bin/
Best regards.

Was it the lack of a solid, neutral statement, was it the lack of own experiences about the product or was it altogether plus the formulas "...Unless this is using a custom version of rsync" or "... this will probably cause data loss on Macs".
Damn, does it cause data loss or does it not cause data loss - a question that is of some importance with regard to a backup/syncing app.
I think, however, that comments, publicly spread on software trackers, may no way disseminate pure assumptions.
This is almost the least respect we owe those who dedicate their time and efforts into software development - especially if it's freeware.
So, I decided to confront the dev with this comment and we'll hopefully know more then.
