A full rsync takes more than the whole night, and the destination server is almost unusable for anything else when it is doing its rsyncs. I am sorry if this was unclear. I just want to give rsync a hint that comparing files and directories that are older than one week on the source side is a waste of time and effort, as the rsync is done every day, so they can safely be assumed to be in sync already.
