What does the ––archive option do? Why is it useful?
What will be an ideal response?
The ––archive option copies files including dereferenced symbolic links,
device files, and special files recursively, preserving ownership, group, per-
missions, and modification times associated with the files. Using this option
is the same as specifying the ––devices, ––specials, ––group, ––links,
––owner, ––perms, ––recursive, and ––times options.
Because it combines many frequently used options, the ––archive option
can make complex rsync commands easier to understand and maintain. It
also means you do not have to remember to include all the necessary options
with a given rsync command.
