Using rsync is very helpful (if you enable SSH compression) otherwise you don't get link layer compression. Also, setting the rsync bwlimit can stop you from stealing all available bandwidth, but better to just use QoS to allocate minimum bandwidth to each class, so at night when the link is idle, rsync can use all available bandwidth.
