cd $SRC_DIR

#step 1::copy dirs struct
rsync -v -d $SRC_DIR $DEST_DIR

wait

#step 2::backup each project dir
parallel -j200% --max-procs 20 --joblog /tmp/par_logs 'rsync -aAXvz --progress --human-readable --delete --exclude=*build/ {} $DEST_DIR{.}' ::: $PROJS_LIST

GNU Parallel put into good use :-)
