Thank you for your reply and sorry for late.

My needs is only get a copy of large dataset a make sure that it is not
broken after transfer. After transfer, this data will be stored on local
backup server where there is bacula installation.

For file transfer, to save time and bandwidth I will use rsync but I
don't know how to check if those file will be corrupted.

How I can perform this check?
I can make an md5 for each file but for a great number of file this can
be a problem.

Thanks in advance.
