Well if it works, fine, but it's annoying to firewall and for the purpose at hand it's just an extra layer of complexity for no gain. Rather the opposite, it's a waste of time - if it wasn't in this case, this thread wouldn't exist. > There's no need to use rsync over ssh - just use rsync. That's what I was hinting at. NFS is not encrypted either. Compression on the LAN isn't much of an issue, though ssh is a LAN bandwidth / CPU load tradeoff so can still work out ahead on a LAN. To use rsync directly you'll need to set up an rsync server and one module within it. For a once-off it seems easier to use it over ssh and not have to deal with authentication, access control etc, but it depends on what other factors there are to consider as well. Not powering down failing disks is wise, but reboots don't do that.
