Hey, I'm using rsync to backup my server but there is a problem because rsync is using very huge amounts traffic. But first to the setup. The server I backup has 4GB of data and I use the following command to backup this data. /usr/bin/rsync -aze 'ssh -i /root/.ssh/backup.key -l backupuser' --rsync-path='sudo rsync' --delete --exclude-from=ex.list $SRC $TRG
The problem is that the traffic generated to backup these 4GB of data is often (yes not every time I backup) up to 200GB and more if I don't stop the process. Rsync it self is showing me not more than 4GB of transmitted data at the end of the rsync call. So is there a known reason for this behaviour of rsync and if yes how can I solve this problem?
