Hi

Been setting up all the rsync’s to my backup server I think I will need.

Tested most on VM.
But of course the one I went live with was a 1.2TB file.

Is there anyway I can stop a rsync?

Thanks

Open a command prompt, type "killall rsync". If it reports nothing owned by you, type "su", enter the root password at the prompt, and try again.

Cannot believe this, it finished just as I was about to type, kill.
6 Hours for 1.2 TB
Thanks for the tip.
