Hi, sorry, using rsync for this purpose is absolutely not recommended!
As always, it depends on what you want to get. If you do not mind having old data as long as you have it, it might be fine with rsync running once a month. You have a pool of 2.5TB- on my pool of 1.4TB I aborted rsync after 2days! So you might need 3days or more for a ful rsync run. I doubt you want it this way! There is no easy ways to have them always in sync. All file level methods are supposed to take ages because of the hardlinks. So you might want to use block based duplication. One possibility is DRBD (which I do here). It is RAID1 through network. If you do not want the remote node slow down local file access you might think of a periodic disconnect and reconnect. Besides of this it appears to be rock stable and reliable. Another possibility are of course distributed file systems. But as you do not need write access on remote as long as primary is alive it might be overkill. Last suggestion is ZFS which I do not know at all. But it appears to have some functionality. Try it. I would say use DRBD ;) And definetly forget about rsync!
