How can I optimize rsync for better performance?

To optimize rsync, consider using options like --compress, --bwlimit, and --delete to reduce data transfer.

What does the --compress option do?

The --compress option reduces the size of the data being transferred by compressing it during the transfer.

Are there any specific flags for transferring large files?

Yes, using --partial can help resume interrupted transfers, and --inplace can save space by updating files directly.

How can I monitor the performance of rsync during a transfer?

You can use the --progress option to see the transfer progress and --stats for a summary of the transfer performance.
