for recursive operations (e.g. with -a or -r), the total progress can be misleading in rsync 3, as all nested files and subdirectories will only be discovered lazily/ad-hoc/during command execution. To get a complete estimate from the beginning, add the --no-inc-recursive option.

If you have multiple files and want a clean terminal with just an overall progress indicator, use --info=name0,progress2

rsync: --info=progress2: unknown option rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at ...

So combining the helpful comments I ended up with rsync -ah --no-i-r --info=progress2 source dest (and it makes a difference if there is a trailing / or not at the source)

Fixed dead link. Improved spelling, capitalization.

For OSX with homebrew, brew tap homebrew/dupes is no longer needed as those formulae have been merged into the homebrew core repo. So now you only need to brew install rsync

Note that you can use --human-readable (or -h) to see total size in MB/GB.. in progress.

Be sure not to use -v or -i, else individual files will be printed out

Add the --no-i-r switch aswell, so rsync does not scan incrementally but completely before copying and knows+displays how much work is left.

| May 2, 2015 at 19:16 | comment | added | Milos Ivanovic | @sanmai: Yes it does! It displays verbose output (which file is being worked on at the current time), but instead of showing the relative progress percentage for that individual file, it shows the absolute progress of the entire rsync operation. | |

Worth noting that --info=progress2 doesn't work with -v

| Nov 28, 2013 at 21:11 | comment | added | Kevin Cox | Note that this has landed in 3.1.0. It is also important to note that this isn't necessarily accurate in the time perspective. It is essentially showing the amount of data that has been verified to exist on the remote end. And the rate is the rate at which the data is being learned to be correct on the remote end (whether it was already that way or the new data was transferred and made it correct). So although very useful you need to understand the caveats. | |
