Hello
Can one use parallel to speed up rsync -avz dir1 dir2 ?  How would one phrase that?

I am not sure it will be happy with dirs called:

 My brother's 12" records

Just thinking aloud on this one: --protect-args?


If rsync had an option to create the missing dirs then that would probably work.

Using the '--relative' option and a '/./' in the source directory could help.

E.g. of its use:

$ rsync -av --relative /src/./a/b/c/d /dest
(Will create all portions of /dest/a/b/c/d that don't already exist.)
