In fact rsync duration isn't a problem here, 3h it's OK for me.
Also I must mention that the primary and the secondary server are not on 
the same datacenter, it will use 230Gb of Band Width for each sync, right?

I use only rsync diff after the first one.

time rsync $rsync_opt -avH --delete -e ssh $host:$remote_path/ 
backuppc_pool/ | gzip -5 -c > $host.list.gz

Currently:

10 094 255  files, for one server.


Regards,
Sylvain.
