A maybe not so smart rsync question... If one uses rsync -avz src/bar /disk2 will that copy over everything from src/bar and create a directory bar on disk2? What if src/bar has other users or root? In other words, does the -a mean that it will preserve ownership and links and copy to /disk2? Just don't know if I need sudo or not.
I dumbly did a copy. Well, that didn't preserve permissions or attributes. So deleting that... Since I'm trying to back up 100's of GB, thought I'd ask. This is taking a long time, even with USB3 drives and nvme.
