Just to close the loop on this, the command worked. Ironically the only files it found that failed checksum are 4 resource/texture packs from two steam games.
Due to podman/docker/wine there are a LOT of symbolic links which rsync mentioned making it difficult to see what files would actually be transferred. Adding "-i" itemize changes was nice but I had to pass the output through sed to get rid of the special files messages. Final command was: rsync -ruhi --checksum --existing /home/<user>_backup/ /home/<usr>/ | sed "/^skipping/d" Thanks, Richard
