Motivation
Quick PR to copy the project using rsync to remote macOS devices to improve resilience. Unlike #6286 we're not attempting to skip any files or folders (as some tools might assume the existence of those). Note that compression (
-z
) led to a walltime penalty in our scenarios (see ticket for more details) so it is not enabled. The ticket also contains a quick summary of why the specific flags are used. The goal of this PR is to increase resilience in case of brief network hiccups (we still want to fail the pipeline if network issues persist).
