[Nottingham] Parallel rsync appears to be a thing now

[J J]

No, I have people who insist on using Robocopy because "That's parallel and
must be faster". Also, no rsync on Windows :(
For large transfers we actually still use sneaker-net, it may or may not be
faster but it's easier to get approval.
Although you still have to get the data *on to* the discs, which brings me
to this fascinating article:

Which method is faster? Well it all depends....
