Also be advised if "dest/" is a FAT formatted SD card, there is a file
size limit of 4GB, (and the -aAXv argument to rsync(1) may not be
viable to restore the permission/ACL of files/directories.)
If "dest/" is archival, (i.e., must be recoverable for a long period
of time,) saving the MD5/SHA* hash values of files in "source/" is
advisable for verification that a file is not corrupt sometime in the
future.
