That's the theory.
Avoiding the translation ("binary mount" as some call it)
means you get byte-for-byte the same content on either side.

But you still will have file NAMES to consider
IFF you have any files with "unusual" names.
If not,  I would not worry about that.   But depending on
where the 'tar' commands are executed,  this may be no problem.
