That will depend on your database change velocity. If the initial copy
takes a long time, Re-run the rsync again just before the shut down.
Try to pick the lowest load time.
For sure rsync can take a long time. I've also done similar moves
using ZFS snapshots, which are crazy fast to sync... but that assumes
you're using ZFS already on the current data directory.
