If possible, also try to use rsync 3.x if you're going to go down that route. In previous versiosn it was necessary to traverse the entire file system to get a file list before starting a transfer. Starting with 3.0.0 (and when talking to another 3.x), it will send incremental updates so bits start moving quicker: > ENHANCEMENTS: > > - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking > to another 3.x version.
