Также обратите внимание на другие опции rsync, которые, вероятно, вам действительно нужны:
-l, --links copy symlinks as symlinks
-H, --hard-links preserve hard links
-p, --perms preserve permissions
--executability preserve executability
-o, --owner preserve owner (super-user only)
-g, --group preserve group
--devices preserve device files (super-user only)
--specials preserve special files
-D same as --devices --specials
-t, --times preserve times
-a, --archive
This is equivalent to -rlptgoD. It is a quick way of saying you want recursion
and want to preserve almost everything (with -H being a notable omission). The
only exception to the above equivalence is when --files-from is specified, in which
case -r is not implied.
Note that -a does not preserve hardlinks, because finding multiply-linked files is
expensive. You must separately specify -H.
