Yes, you are correct. The '--hard-links' argument tells rsync to transfer
hardlinks from the client.
On the server side, hardlinks are not used to store the hardlink

happens - the server side reconstructs the hardlink informa

Within the scope of a single backup I've a mix of live data sources.
For a live data source, e.g. /src/data1, that resides on a dedicated LV,
mount | grep vmail
/dev/mapper/VG0-LV_DATA1 on /src/data1 type ext4
(rw,relatime,dax=never)

Snapshotting is a great idea but it's not built in, since the underlying
commands and approaches vary so much between different OSes and filesystems.
