Rsync also doesn't track hardlinks by default! I use "-avPzHAXS" for my backups.

- Jenda_ 5y agoAlso have a look at --numeric-ids, otherwise it translates UIDs back and forth according to real user names - which will end up in a terrible mess, especially when you are restoring the backup from a live "CD" (which has different UID ←→ username mapping than the target system).
- amelius 5y agoI use getfacl to save permissions correctly, in case the backup server uses different user/group mappings. And setfacl after restoring. (I wish this was handled by rsync.)
