Makes your source match your target and keep all old files; adding files on your target
as they are added on your source, but NOT deleting files on your target as they are de-
leted on your source.
Compress
With this option, compress the file data as it is sent to the destination machine, which
reduces the amount of data being transmitted – something that is useful over a slow
connection.
