I don't know!  I'm waiting for someone to open

Quite possibly rsync is better at some things than unison, but
for keeping sets of files at multiple locations in sync it
seems unison is "better" (for some values of "better" )

One note - rsync is better at managing disk space when there's not
much room left.
