Don’t the options for rsync -aAHX preserve all the metadata? Is there something besides
-a archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)
-p preserve permissions
-g preserve group
-o preserve owner
-l copy symlinks as symlinks
-t preserve modification times
-A preserve ACLs (implies -p)
-H preserve hard links
-X preserve extended attributes
?
