If you aren't syncing lots of hard-links (the -H flag), rsync is generally very light on memory usage for any amount of data you throw at it. A 128mb should suffice easily.
128MB should do the job just fine. We have had no issues with transferring small/larger file in large quantities. Memory foot print of rsync is quite low, but you may see CPU usage increase when transferring a lot of small files.
you could also add this in your rsync command if you have a low memory server
rsync --no-i-rit disables incremental recursion
My files will be thousands of HTML and some images, all under 100kb each.
Thank you for suggestions
Sounds like a low load for rsync :-)
It's one of the faster options to transfer a few thousand files in a short time.
128Mb is enough, my tips just: use 64bit template! Some case 32bit has limitation for "thousands files".
nice tip
