rsync and many files

Hello together, I have a question about using rsync with many files. We are using rsync via rsnapshot, but this is not elementary. It is used to backup many (above 100 servers) and works very well. Now there is one server with many (several millions) files. The files are not very big, so the

The --max-delete option and also question about depth first deletions

Hello, I'm trying to build a bullet-proof rsync deployment, using rsync version 3.0.8 protocol version 30, and I'll be using the --delete option. As a way of limiting any catastrophic losses I'm thinking about using --max-delete. I have a couple of questions: - If the maximum number of

Re: rsync and many files

40 files a second seems very slow. Are you sure the majority of the time is generating the file list and determine what's changed? How many of the millions of files are changed? On modern hardware I see 1000's of files per second when scanning for changed files. On Jun 6, 2011, at 12:39
