Synchronizing many files should be no problem with rsync versions >= 3 due to new incremental feature; I do this regularly with around 15 million mostly small files. But: The initial copy might take some days. If so, you might look around for a somewhat faster unconditional copy method. I prefer cpio here, but cloning tools might be better suited. Sven
