[Csync2] Csync2 use case

Just found csync and trying to find out if it will work in our 
particular use case.

Have directories with tens of millions of files that need to sync 
between 3 machines.
1 machine is a backup so there won't be any changes done in it, but 2 of 
the machines are offices in different states.

Unison works for smaller directories well and even large ones.. after 
the first sync. Problem with unison is that the initial sync is a killer.
Also if there is a connection drop during the initial sync (which can 
take a day plus) the entire operation needs to start over.

Would csync2 do better in this case?
* 3 Machines
* Directories with tens of millions of files
* Need bi-directional sync support
* Need continuous sync (can setup cron)
