There’s also –delete-before which might help if your destination is tight on available space. And, as usual with ‘traditional’ tools, man-page is pretty good, there’s a ton of parameters which might be helpful. And, as @hades@feddit.uk already mentioned, compression (-z) may actually hurt performance if you have a lot of bandwidth or if you’re copying over already compressed data like JPGs.

I wasn’t aware of the full impact of -z. Thanks for clarifying that for me (thanks to @hades@feddit.uk as well!). I’ll definitely keep an eye on the speed with -z vs without it when I do my next dry run.
