I currently "rsync" 11 different directories. Each sync line looks like this: rsync -rv --delete $MyCDsSource/Linux $MyCDsTarget/.; sync; sync Problem: it is slow -- takes three hours. To help the speed issue, I upgraded from USB 2 to USB 3. Backup went from 3 hr-15 min to 3 hr-5 min. It is almost faster to wipe the stick and rewrite it. Anyone know of a way to speed up rsync? Many thanks, -T

If this is all on a local network segment and you can forgo the security aspect: -e "ssh -T -c arcfour -o Compression=no -x" ~Steven
Hi Steven, The USB 3 flash drives and plugged directly into my USB 3 Front panel hub. My local hard drive is LUKS encrypted. Is that an issue? Doesn't seem to slow anything else down. Many thanks, -T
