rsync stats: am I reading this right?
 

Hey Guys,

I am trying to calculate the amount of data that I send to my backup server via rsync so I don't go over the 5 megabit bandwidth cap. My stat's for today's backup are the following:

Number of files: 269625
Number of files transferred: 11128
Total file size: 29030581960 bytes
Total transferred file size: 2069384258 bytes
Literal data: 1885425764 bytes
Matched data: 183958494 bytes
File list size: 9147213
File list generation time: 0.001 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 1895474976
Total bytes received: 590388

sent 1895474976 bytes received 590388 bytes 9551966.57 bytes/sec
total size is 29030581960 speedup is 15.31


According to this, I sent approx 1.76 gigs of stuff at around 9 megabytes per second, right? Am I reading this properly?

That looks about right to me.

1.77 ;) Looks right to me too.

Do you use compression options with rsync? Do you have any sparse files? (there is an option to handle these efficiently with rsync)
