Hi,
A question for those of you using rsync for backup, particularly those
using dirvish or rsnapshot. Are you using any of the following rsync
options to your rsync command? I recently discovered that none of these
are present in my rsnapshot configuration. I'm certain I want to add
--xattrs in order to preserve the selinux security context. Adding
--acls seems harmless, even though I dont' think I'm using them. I'm
tempted to add --sparse and --hard-links, but I'm concerned there might
be some downsides of which I'm unaware. Thoughts?
-A, --acls preserve ACLs (implies -p)
-X, --xattrs preserve extended attributes
-S, --sparse handle sparse files efficiently
-H, --hard-links preserve hard links
thanks,
galen
