WIP: intro of blah blah blah

Transferring data between computers

By 2018 and good network connections, syncing data <50G can be done plainly with rsync.

However, if the "repository" has a lot of small files (<1MB) or is simply bigger. I prefer the following 3 steps procedure:

  1. tar the data and split it in chunks of ~5G

  2. rsync the chunks

  3. join the chunks and untar

Where does the magic numbers come from?

Basically, the speed and robustness of your network 😉
