First since the copy operation is going to take a considerable time, I would suggest to use either nohup or screen utility. Personally I like the screen utility. Hence,

# screen -S screen1
# rsync –append –partial –progress httpdocs_19Aug.tar.gz :/home/

OR

# nohup rsync –append –partial –progress httpdocs_19Aug.tar.gz :/home/ > nohup.out &
