Copying files at the same time will ultimately consume all the bandwidth. So, to avoid such issue it would be good to tell Rsync to copy only once the other previous Rsync has finished copying. Copying or transferring files from one system to another location without impacting the bandwith or consuming all available bandwidth, when using Rsync. Using Rsync in Linux to copy files and folders is a common task for Sys Admin. When using Rsync and limiting the upper bandwith or telling Rsync the maximum bandwidth to use can be achieved using the "--limit" option. --limit is in KBps (Kilo Bytes per second and not Kilo bits) --partial is another good option if there is frequent disconnection this will tell Rsync to pick-up or include the files that has been transferred or copied Here's the command on how to use Rsync in Linux to limit the bandwidth when copying: rsync -Pz --limit=30000 <source> <destination> -P = will show the progress -z = tells Rsync to compress fi...
