rsync copy two partitions

To copy the contents from one partition to another:

rsync -avHAXW --info=progress2 /source /target
and here are the options:

• -a, –archive archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)
• -v, –verbose increase verbosity
• -H, –hard-links preserve hard links
• -A, –acls preserve ACLs (implies -p)
• -X, –xattrs preserve extended attributes
• -W, –whole-file copy files whole (w/o delta-xfer algorithm)
• -u, –update skip files that are newer on the receiver
• –progress show progress during transfer

and here some additional options worth a look:

• -z, –compress compress file data during the transfer
• –exclude=PATTERN exclude files matching PATTERN
• –include=PATTERN don’t exclude files matching PATTERN
• –log-file=FILE log what we’re doing to the specified FILE
