Can rsync be paused?
You can pause any program by sending it a TSTP (polite) or STOP (forcible) signal. On the terminal you’ve run rsync in, pressing Ctrl + Z sends TSTP . Resume with the fg or bg command in the terminal or a CONT signal. It is safe to kill an rsync process and run the whole thing again; it will continue where it left off.
