How much speed do u get to backup these files? Average?


I would thing that rsync 3.x would make a large difference on the  
speed.  Are you using 2.6.9 or something?

Try the -z option if it's across a slow network and not using ssh.
(With ssh, -z should make little difference.)
Or try not using the -z option :-)

Even with rsync-2.6.8 (SUSE SLES10) I see:

Number of files: 5599821
Number of files transferred: 1164
Total file size: 4409434193460 bytes
Total transferred file size: 2062944264 bytes
Literal data: 1729055258 bytes
Matched data: 333889006 bytes
File list size: 180403610
File list generation time: 2121.930 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 2083653
Total bytes received: 1910410098

sent 2083653 bytes  received 1910410098 bytes  279175.79 bytes/sec
total size is 4409434193460  speedup is 2305.59
 end    RC=0  090228.2127 090228.2331

with a duration of 2 hours 4 minutes.

 I have to rsync 200k files which range in size from 5kb to 800kb. Is
 there an optimal way to do this using rsync? or shall I use tar for
 this?

Just do it, there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
