Hi,
I did some benchs as suggested by Cedric.
At first, I rsynced with options rsync -r --ignore-times --stats -h, and then I rsynced with options rsync -rc --stats -h
The total duration of 1st rsync (--ignore-times) for all my tablespaces is 24 min 24 sec.
Please find below details printed by rsync for 1 tablespace (size 107 Go found using du -h) ;
For this tablespace, duration was 17 minutes 20 seconds.

And duration for rsync -rc for all tablespaces is 32 minutes 2 seconds :
Duration for only this tablespace is 21 minutes 41 seconds.

So, it looks that option --ignore-times is helpful.
Thanks for your comments.
