Learning Linux - master rsync by starting with these examples

For backups and copying multiple files, especially over networks or to backup media, rsync is an essential tool for Linux users to master.
Personally I use it every day to move clumps of files around the network, and I have scripts on systems all over the planet using rsync to do backups. It's a powerful and efficient tool that's an essential part of any sysadmin or Linux user's tool kit.
Like most things, rsync is easiest to learn by seeing some examples and expanding your knowledge from there as necessary.
