| Dec 19, 2010 at 22:35 | comment | added | whitneyz | Do you mean with each successive backup that is performed, Time Machine will generate a backup with hard links to the original files that have been backed up already? I ask this because I'm not that familiar with Time Machine. If that is the case, then yes I'd copy the original. But I am pretty sure that rsync has an option that will cause it to ignore recreating hard links. | |

| Dec 19, 2010 at 19:59 | comment | added | mmmmmm | I would ask why not just rsync the original - I ask this as far as I understand rsync does not understand the hard link directories so that you will end up taking multiple copies of every file. | |
