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.
