    sudo rsync

    When archiving to mounted ext hd, what options do you use with rsync?

    I have seen this
    sudo rsync -avHx
    but I thought -a and -H should not coexist?
    e.g.
    -a, --archive archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)

    If you are not doing anything crazy, -a should be just fine. Not sure what you are trying to do though...

    For my backups I'm doing "-rav --delete".
