All else being equal I'd agree, but this is backing up to a NTFS
filesystem, which doesn't support the type of ownership and permissions
information that's likely to be available on the source filesystem; in
that scenario, backing up file-to-file (as with rsync) will lose that
metadata, whereas a tarball will preserve it.
