Hi, I'm using rsync with --link-dest to do backups. I don't have any sparse files, but someday I might. Should I be using --sparse?
I notice that -S is not implied by -a. This makes me suspicious that --sparse is not (yet?) suitable for general purpose use. There also seem to be outstanding bugs related to --sparse. Thanks.
