I set it to 45k/s so I still have half my pipe for other things like email and stuff. #!/bin/bash #Rsync Backup Script RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync SSH=/usr/bin/ssh RHOST=123.456.789.10 RPATH=/home/workgroup/rsync/somewhere/officewrk LPATH=/home/workgroup/officewrk/ MAXSPEED=45 NOTES=/root/rsync.officewrk.text #Delete old notes. rm -f $NOTES echo `date` > $NOTES $RSYNC -azrv --delete --bwlimit=$MAXSPEED -e $SSH $LPATH $RHOST:$RPATH >> $NOTES echo `date` >> $NOTES mail -s "Sync Report --officewrk" user@xxxxxxx < $NOTES rm -f $NOTES Then I can just adjust it if I want full speed. Putting it to 120 maxes out my connection if I need a fast transfer, but since I mostly run these at night I let them go throttled. It works good for me, and once the initial sync is done (~4G) the updates are typically only a few megs. -- -=/>Thom
