If this is a migration I find that tar to the local machine, copy over, restore, then rsync are likely the best options.

In my experience copying lots of small files is going to take a long time, no matter which method you use.

From all the combinations I have tried in the past tar first then rsync
worked best for me. _______________________________________________
