Hi,
I am going to do a rsync between 2 machines over a slow network
connection. On source machine there is a large directory set i need to
copy over to machine 2. Here is my plan to do this using rsync:

1. I run zip to zip up all the directories into one zip file
2. run rsync to copy over the zip file
3. unzip the file on machine 2
4. create cronjob to do this nightly

The size of the zip file should be around 30M - 40M, but after the
1st copy over, it should be OK because rsync only copies the changed
parts of the zip file.

Do you see if this works?

It fails.
