Do you know when the "last file" has been created? Are you able to identify it? NO

You seem to know the creating program / script. Are you able to modify it? If you can modify it to work that will be great.

Do you REALLY have to rsync before the last files has arrived? Can't you wait until they're complete? The process doesn't seem to take that long.

So the sample i showed you is just for splitting a 73 G file. In actual fact the file i have to split is 3 TB. It will take over 5 hours just to split all the files. It will take another 15 hours just to rsync to complete sending all the files to a remote location which about 1200 miles away. If I ship the 3TB+ as a whole it will take about 2 days to rsync the bulk file over 1200 miles between hostA and hostB.

The reason behind not waiting for all the files to complete the splitting, is because i want to save time.
Once i receive all the files on the remote server , i will have to worry about total time to restore. If i go through the old school method of shipping 3TB at once to the remote site and restoring at the remote site it takes me about 3 days depending the distance between server A and server B.
If i have to wait until all the files are split before i rsync each file , then I have to endure the time it takes for all the files to split, which depending on the size of the file could be humongous.
The smart thing, is to split, dont wait for the next file, rsync the first spit file , wait till the nest split file to complete and rynsc and so forth until the last file is split. Hopefull by ussing a "nohup" , i can rsynch each file using different sessions.

bup-server

bup-server(1)						      General Commands Manual						     bup-server(1)

NAME

       bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship

SYNOPSIS

       bup server

DESCRIPTION

       bup server  is  the  server  side of a remote bup session.  If you use bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the
       remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.

       There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.

MODES

       smart  In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the idx files in its repository.  If  any  object  already  exists,	it
	      tells  the  client  about  the  idx file it was found in, allowing the client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.
	      This is bup-server's default mode.

       dumb   In this mode, the server will not check its local index before writing an object.  To avoid writing duplicate  objects,  the  server
	      will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at the start of the session.  This mode is useful on low powered server hard-
	      ware (ie router/slow NAS).

FILES

       $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
	      Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above.  This file is not created by default in new repositories.
