You run it on one machine twice, once for each direction. From the
manpage:
To synchronize my samba source trees I use the following:
rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' samba:samba/ .
rsync -Cavuzb . samba:samba/
The only drawback is rsync will never delete files; you have to
manually remove them from both machines manually.
