rsync doesn't much tolerate network glitches in my experience. its
also a incremental file backup/copy, and won't be doing a 'snapshot' so
if any of these files you're copying are things that are randomly
updated like a database, its quite possible for the copy to be useless.
as a backup strategy, having a single copy that you overwrite when you
make a new copy is weak. you have no history, you can't recover the file
that the user overwrote 2 days ago and forgot to tell you until today,
as you just overwrote your backup with his mistake last night.
it really depends on what the point of this replica is, what the usage
patterns are, what the data archive expectancies are.
