rsync limitations?

[thedaver]

Anyone aware of literal or experiential/anedoctal limitations of using rsync (with SSH most likely) over a WAN to move files OF ANY LEGAL FILE SIZE?

What if a new file of 2GB was introduced on the source server?

Just trying to see if rsync has any hidden gotchas before we potentially commit to using it to manage a Production/Failover replication effort.

Thanks!
Dave.

Using rsync for replication. Works great!
Threeta is correct though about ACL's.
