A sync should be an atomic operation. Or at the very least, reversible if it gets interrupted. In that case, a reboot should be able to happen at any time.

- em-bee 6y agomore than that. a sync should be interruptible and resumable. rsync does that. so does syncthing which i use to keep my phones data synced to my computer. it runs all the time and syncs when i am on wifi (even when i am not anywhere near the computer) it pauses when i get off wifi or the two machines can't connect for other reasons, and resumes when the connection is back.
