You can run this command in a crontab every 5 min for example. When
rsync find any modification of the source dir, it copy it to the
destination dir automatically.

#crontab -l
*/5     *       *       *       *       /usr/local/scripts/rsyncprod

rsyncprod is my script where i use rsync and make a report
