--timeout=TIMEOUT This option allows you to set a maximum IO timeout in seconds. If no data is transferred for the specified time then rsync will exit. The default is 0, which means no timeout. Could anyone please tell me why IO timeout occures..in other words, why data could not be transferred in 12 hours? BTW, I have not set IOTIMEOUT from rsync but still it has been existing.
