In fact rsync duration isn't a problem here, 3h it's OK for me. Also I must mention that the primary and the secondary server are not on the same datacenter, it will use 230Gb of Band Width for each sync, right? I use only rsync diff after the first one. time rsync $rsync_opt -avH --delete -e ssh $host:$remote_path/ backuppc_pool/ | gzip -5 -c > $host.list.gz Currently: 10 094 255 files, for one server.
