Do not use scp when your source contains hard/soft links and you want to copy them as it is. Instead of links, scp will copy the actual file to destination. You will end up copying 1.2TB instead of 600GB as what happened to me a few months back. (In my case, I had actual files and symlinks to them in the source directory). If you have links, use rsync. ~Jain I have one more point to add.
