Rsync speed over network.

[Mozzi]

Haile the list ;-)

I am new to this list and this is my first post so grretings to all and nice to meet you.

I am setting up rsync here to do a MASSIVE copy from one machine to the other.
I am moving mail servers so I must copy /var/spool/mail/ over to the other machine.
I understand and have used locally the copy methods(manpage is good) but I need to ask what will be the fstest possible way to copy over the data from one machine to the other
I have setup two gigabit ethernet cards with a crosover cable and used a private ip address range (10.0.0.1) between them so security is not an issue.
I have about 80 000 mailfiles giving a total of about 50Gigs, obviousely downtime has to be kept to a minnimum.

Tx all
