rsync -avhW --no-compress --progress /src/ /dst/

  • -a is for archive, which preserves ownership, permissions etc.
  • -v is for verbose, so I can see what's happening (optional)
  • -h is for human-readable, so the transfer rate and file sizes are easier to read (optional)
  • -W is for copying whole files only, without delta-xfer algorithm which should reduce CPU load
  • --progress so I can see the progress of large files (optional)
