so my rsync command line is

rsync -avzue ssh --checksum --exclude-from='/boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/exclude1.txt' --protect-args -avue ssh --stats --numeric-ids --progress '/mnt/user/Family Files/' [email protected]:'/mnt/user/Backup_Tardis_Folders/Family Files/'

and its always hanging used to be rsync would say increminting list. and then things would zip zip zip.. now it just hangs . all the time.. i dunno what its doing

here is some of it its stuck..

is there a way to get rysnc to work like it worked a couple years ago where it just went fast ... like its just crazy

Probably want to remove --checksum, that means each side will need to read the entirety of each file on both sides every time it runs.

Edited 7 hours ago7 hr by Kilrah

@Kilrah ok that seems to speed it up more faster.. now as it was over an hour and still not done yet..

when do you want to have the checksum and when dont you want it?

I would run checksum once or twice a year to verify that the data hasn't been corrupted for some reason, but also in a way that it only shows discrepancies instead of updating so I can verify which side is correct.

Would also check how long it should take to read that amount of data and check it takes about the expected time when it runs to hopefully catch a failing drive that's slower than it should.

ok so ill use the checksum every 6 months then.

so you mean see how long it takes to use the checksum? so say if it takes 2 hours or more now... record that and do it again in 6 months and see if it takes longer or the same.. and how would it tell if there is a failing drive just by being slower?

and is there a option -whatever dash if rsync looses connection forwhatever reason not to exit out but to just resume.. or you gotta just wait for user script to run again as i do it nightly backup but if it craps out it wont finish till the next day. is there an option that tells it if it craps out wait and restart and resume
