You don't say quite what you're doing, but if you are just
copying the
data (that is, there isn't a destination that is nearly the same),
you
might not need to use rsync at all, but some other file copy utility
instead, such as scp (slow but secure and reliable). Umm, when I want
to copy a few GiB from a VM to the host, I now shut down the VM and
mount its root locally, and do a normal copy.
yes i am doing also doing --delete and --exclude some directories from a list. Here is
command i am using
rsync -e ssh -l bkp-user -avR --delete --exclude-from=${EXCLUDES}
@Tony as i mentioned earlier, i am using my host VM for heavy REMOTE backups
so I cant shutdown/mount any of my REMOTE live box to take backup.
I have taken very big backups in past on xen based VM's.
Chocking Network due to heavy rsync is something amazing for me.
Any other solution will be appreciated.
