Rsync isn't going to give you any performance boost on a restore, assuming you're restoring to an empty folder: *nothing* is going to give you a performance boost, really. You're simply going to have to wait.

>> Thanks Timothy for the great info and advice. Much appreciated! So using the restore from the web interface and rsync should work reliably if left over night with 200GB? I can't see any progress bar so it is hard to tell if is even working. It works with one small directory. How long should it take before I start seeing folders created?

Forrester recently released a report on the Return on Investment (ROI) of
Google Apps. They found a 300% ROI, 38%-56% cost savings, and break-even
within 7 months.  Over 3 million businesses have gone Google with Google Apps:
