I'd recommend doing --inplace, as chances are that data won't move within a file with oracle data files (so it's not useful to try to find moved data), and copying the 4TB to temp. files every time could become a big timewaster. Also the -t option could be handy, not all files change all the time IIRC. ////***lsk I can't use -t because the oracle datafiles header information are constanly updated so it will definetely change. But I have tried various options including --inplace,--no-whole-file etc., for last few weeks but all the results show me removing the destination server oracle datafiles and after that doing an "rsync -vz" from source is faster than copying(rsyncing) over the old files that are present in destination. I put list of rsync file commands in a batch file and spawn them so that they run in background.
