I think you are forcibly calling the rsync and hence all data is getting downloaded when you recall it again. Before running the script, you have to replace the [source] and [dest] with your actual values. In the "Advanced options" tab, check at least the checkbox " Keep partially transferred files ". It will resume the transfer where it was interrupted. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Yes, rsync won't copy again files that it's already copied. There are a few edge cases where its detection can fail. Did it copy all the already-copied files? What options did you use? What were the source and target filesystems? If you run rsync again after it's copied everything, does it copy again? Gilles: Thanks!
There is also the --partial flag to resume partially transferred files useful for large files — jwbensley. Tim Off the top of my head, there's at least clock skew, and differences in time resolution a common issue with FAT filesystems which store times in 2-second increments, the --modify-window option helps with that.

Simpler doc. CMCDragonkai Actually, check out Alexander's answer below about --partial-dir — looks like it's the perfect bullet for this. I may have missed something entirely ; — DanielSmedegaardBuus.
DanielSmedegaardBuus I tested it out myself on a slow connection, and this is what I see with only --partial : rsync copies the file into the temporary name, connection is interrupted, the remote rsync eventually moves that file to the regular name and quits, then upon re-running with --partial and without --append , the new temporary file is initialized with a copy of the partially-transferred remote file, then the copy continues from where the connection died.
Ubuntu What's your level of confidence in the described behavior of --checksum? According to the man it has more to do with deciding which files to flag for transfer than with delta-transfer which, presumably, is rsync 's default behavior. Show 17 more comments. On the next transfer, rsync will use a file found in this dir as data to speed up the resumption of the transfer and then delete it after it has served its purpose. Note that if --whole-file is specified or implied , any par- tial-dir file that is found for a file that is being updated will simply be removed since rsync is sending files without using rsync's delta-transfer algorithm.
Rsync will create the DIR if it is missing just the last dir -- not the whole path. If the partial-dir value is not an absolute path, rsync will add an exclude rule at the end of all your existing excludes.
This will prevent the sending of any partial-dir files that may exist on the sending side, and will also prevent the untimely deletion of partial-dir items on the receiving side. An example: the above --partial-dir option would add the equivalent of "-f '-p.
Community Bot 1. When a path which is not in the same partition another disk, RAM drive, etc. When large files are involved, it's recommended to use a relative path located in the same partition - not a symbolic link, etc. When using temporary storage such as a RAM drive , one should also be aware that files to be synchronized will be limited by temporary storage free space.
Add a comment. You may want to add the -P option to your command. From the man page: --partial By default, rsync will delete any partially transferred file if the transfer is interrupted. If a file needs to be transferred and its size on the receiver is the same or longer than the size on the sender, the file is skipped.
If any interruption happened, the partial transferred file existing on my server will be removed, you can go and terminate the established rsync connection to see by yourself. This will keep all uncompleted large files in their destination location for resuming the rsync connection in a later time. Always try the above examples in order, as the last one needs extra size for resuming the transfer. Create a free Team What is Teams? Collectives on Stack Overflow.

It's trivial, but -t in your rsync options is redundant, it is implied by -a. An already compressed disk image sent over rsync without compression might result in shorter transfer time by avoiding double compression.
However, I'm unsure of the compression techniques in both cases. I'd test it. It affects how rsync decides if it should transfer a file. Though, after a first rsync completes, you could run a second rsync with -c to insist on checksums, to prevent the strange case that file size and modtime are the same on both sides, but bad data was written.

Note that this doesn't have much to do with Ctrl-c ; it happens that your terminal sends SIGINT to the foreground process when you press Ctrl-c , but the server-side rsync has no controlling terminal. You must log in to the server and use kill. The client-side rsync will not send a message to the server for example, after the client receives SIGINT via your terminal Ctrl-c - might be interesting though.
As for anthropomorphizing, not sure what's "politer". Setting the timeout to half an hour so kind of defers the purpose. Any workaround for this? Explaination of args: -avhz.. In some circumstances it is more desirable to keep partially transferred files. Using the --partial option tells rsync to keep the partial file which should make a subsequent transfer of the rest of the file much faster.
This gives a bored user something to watch.
