While running rsync in the add-on It goes thru and backs-up several files that do not necessarily need to have a backup. DB files and some log files in config, cache files from the TDM add-on, and others.
Since rsync has the ability natively to exclude files. I would make good use of a line on the config that would feed this info to the rsync command-line to ignore certain folders and files.
Some of these files are cache files in the TDM add-on, for instance, that are never needed to be backed up.
The issue is 3 fold.
the long list of files pushes the logging off the screen and I cannot ever go to the beginning of the log to see if all was OK or the versions, etc.
There is no need to back these up and take space on the back-up drive.
This will speed up the process not having to back-up the database file, for instance.
