Currently leaning towards rsync:
since rsync performs compression in-flight, it likes uncompressed files:
stats on sending compressed file:
(your mileage may vary
)
551499.52 bytes/sec
total size is 549384653 speedup is 1.00
real 16m35.83s
user 0m10.71s
sys 0m30.54s
uncompressed file:
1566427136 100% 2.08MB/s 0:11:58 (xfer#1, to-check=0/1)
sent 42 bytes received 397960981 bytes 552340.07 bytes/sec
total size is 1566427136 speedup is 3.94
real 12m0.30s
user 0m56.81s
sys 0m28.56s
Maybe the best both worlds?
rsync uncompressed file, and gzip on remote box where duration and load is not an issue...
your input is appreciated
