rsync -a --partial --append-verify /home/user/iso/ /mnt/backup/iso/
Resume interrupted large-file transfers
--partial keeps partially transferred files instead of deleting them on interruption, and --append-verify resumes by appending then checking the result. Together they make re-runs after a dropped connection cheap. Files are still verified, so a bad resume is caught.
