The load of rsync depends heavily on the number of files you are trying |
| 2 |
to sync. If you are sync'ing a large number of files your system will |
| 3 |
take a hit when the rsync begins. Depending on the permissions you want |
| 4 |
on the target box you may not need to do this as root. You may be |
| 5 |
able to use a dedicated account that doesn't have shell access and can |
| 6 |
only be accessed via an ssh key. On a personal note it is something I |
| 7 |
use frequently to keep systems in sync, and I have found the load to be |
| 8 |
very reasonable. |
