Need help on rsync
Hi experts,
We need copy 5TB data from one server to another (over a 10Gbps link). We plan to use rsync -av remote:/<path /local on destination server but there're few special requirements like:
1. data copy process should run only from 18:00 Hrs to 07:00 every day until copy is completed. Is it a good idea to cron 2 jobs - one of them starts script at 18:00 and the other kills it at 7:00?
2. log should be emailed once in every 60 minutes. I noticed there're lot of redundant unnecessary info in the logs. is there any filter?
3. can transfer speed be controlled? (to reduce a bit so that it won't choke entire bandwidth)
4. rsync version on destination machine is 3.0.6. yum update rsync says this is final version.
5. I think there's no need for rsync daemon just standalone command would suffice. please confirm.
Please advise, Many thanks!!

rpdump
rpdump(1) General Commands Manual rpdump(1)
NAME
rpdump - alpine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpdump [ -f ] -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpdump may be used to copy the actual data from remote Alpine configuration files or address books into a local file. It is intended to be
used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
Local_file will normally be a local temporary file. Remote_folder is the IMAP folder being used as a remote Alpine configuration (with the
help of Alpine's -P, -p, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) or remote Alpine address book folder. A
copy of the data from Remote_folder will be copied to Local_file.
-f Force the dump even if the remote folder is in an unrecognized format.
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied to.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied from. See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One
example is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
