rsync -avz --progress /root/mydumper_backup/ root@NEW_SERVER:/root/mydumper_backup/that's a bit weird. rsync -z is compression, but they did compress in the mydumper export already, so this is a slow down (or neutral at best). also in my experience rsync is as fast as scp is as fast as piping anything to the tcp port on the destination etc. rsync does not win for speed but for enabling resume so to say...
besides this: nice read!
It's probably just a knee jerk inclusion.
As you say other solutions may be just as well or marginally better, but this is an all around good approach that even when pointless doesn't hurt anything.
