I'll chime in about my recent experience with rsync. I had lot of hardlink-based data to ship (Zimbra). I installed from source the latest release of 3.0 as it incrementally handles harlinks in realtime vs. building a huge table in memory about how things are linked. I've been pushing the Ubuntu 8.04 backport of rsync3 ever since. My standard usage is 'rsync -axHP' when I need hardlink aware copying. When working with VM filesystems outside the guest (either Xen LVs or KVM qcow2's), remember to use '--numeric-ids' or the rsync will use the UIDs of your local system when copying. I will probably need to modify my standard to include '-A' as more ACL usage is occurring these days. In the end, this post is more of a "get on the 3.0.x bandwagon.. it rocks!". :) -- I'm just a packet pusher.
