> As it is, I have several options.  In a way, I wish I could tell rsync to
do 1st half of alphabet to one drive and then with next command tell it to
do the 2nd half of alphabet.  That would likely split the data in half for
each one.

You can do that, at least with a small kludge I'm sure. rsync supports
excluding directories and file names. As an example:

rsync -avx --port=873 --exclude={.cache,.nv,'google-chrome*',DiskImages}
/home/mark mark@truenas1:/mn
t/MyPool/mark/Backups/science/.

There's a test open (?? -n maybe ??) that allows you to see what it would
do.

I'm sure you can figure that part out. The above line is just in a script
file for me

HTH,
Mark
