Hi, i'd like to rsync some image files from virtual hosts each night. The image files are between 50GB and 400GB big. I thought rsync would be the appropriate solution because it just transfers the differences, not the whole file. But nevertheless rsync takes hours. The images aren't much modified over the day, i would expect just some tens of megabyte needed to be transfered.
I have the following command line: rsync -av --no-whole-file --inplace source destination. Is that ok ? Any suggestions ? I skipped the check with the hash values before the transfer because creating a hash value from a 400GB file takes loooong. But the man pages mentione that nevertheless AFTER the transfer a hash value is created on both sides to check that the files are equal. Is it possible to switch the after-transfer check off ? I have SLES 12 SP3 and rsync 3.1.0 Thanks.
