Configure rsyncd service on copy target Host, refer to here.
This example is based on the environment like follows as the link above, and additionally install lsyncd on copy source Host.

+----------------------+          |          +----------------------+
|    [dlp.srv.world]   |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.51|  [node01.srv.world]  |
|        lsyncd        +----------+----------+        rsyncd        |
|     /home/work/*     |   ------------->    |     /home/backup/*   |
+----------------------+      live copy      +----------------------+

[2]	Install Lsync on copy source Host.

root@dlp:~#

apt -y install lsyncd

root@dlp:~#

mkdir /etc/lsyncd

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/lsyncd/lsyncd.conf.lua

# create new

settings{
    statusFile = "/var/run/lsyncd.stat",
    statusInterval = 1,
}
sync{
    default.rsync,
    # specify copy source directory
    source="/home/work/",
    # specify copy target Hostname or IP address : (the name set in rsyncd.conf)
    target="node01.srv.world::backup",
    # specify exclude file list
    excludeFrom="/etc/rsync_exclude.lst",
}

root@dlp:~#

systemctl restart lsyncd
