Try as we may (--dry-run), it still won't tell us where it intends to put the
files,
$ rsync --dry-run --remove-source-files --relative --verbose --itemize-changes
-Cavz Maildir/new /tmp/
sending incremental file list
delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file
cd+
/tmp/Maildir/new/1546157908.1392_1.jidanni7
Also, don't use -z on a local copy. Rsync is dumb enough to do what you
tell it to.

The right tool is something that understands the filesystem within the
block device such as ntfsclone (what I use) or partimage (if you have
ever used Clonezilla this is
Rsync would only benefit you in terms of reducing network bandwidth
(assuming it is even networking). The resulting file will be the size
of the block device just like you get with dd[rescue]. You can tell
rsync to write the file sparsely which would mean that any parts of the
disk that have
It would be very nice to be able to rsync the raw data content of, e.g., a
non-mounted disk partition, particularly in combination with --inplace.
Our reality: several dual-boot machines running Windows during the day and
Linux at night, during backups. Windows is very tedious and iffy to

why not correct tool ?
if rsync can greatly keep two large files in sync between source and destination
(using --inplace), why should it (generally spoken) not also be used to keep
maybe this could also be useful:

Hi,
I used --partial to transfer files from my local computer (rsync 3.1.2,
Debian) to a remote computer (rsync 3.1.1 WD MyPassport Storage device)
The files get transferred, but after successful transfer, the files
