I don't know much about the cdimage mirroring process.  I don't think
ftpsync is well suited for that.

Also, the backports tree is obsolete for a few years now (the service is
part of the main debian tree since wheezy), and non-US is obsolete for
well over a decade.  You might want to retire these mirrors.

(Furthermore, we don't recommend security mirrors being used, and thus
don't think security should be mirrored, but that's your call.)


How often does your sync process run for the main archive?  We recommend
4 times a day to match the update frequency of the debian archive.  If
you want to match that frequency, options include:
 - cron this, picking a time when you think your upstream would usually
   be done with their mirrorrun, or
 - use ftpsync-cron (in the ftpsync released a few days ago), which is a
   script that should be run out of cron every 30-60 minutes and which
   checks the upstream's tracefile for whether a mirror run happened and
   if it did, runs one locally
 - set up ssh triggers with your upstream.


Cheers,
