The advantage of the rsync command is that it transfers only the difference. If the transfer is interrupted for any reason, you can start again, or if you run it again after a certain period of time, you can transfer only those files that have changed their content. Data deleted from the source can also be deleted at the destination for complete synchronization.
An example command is shown below. It's a good idea to check the log or run it multiple times, in case the command fails along the way.
