Backintime is an incremental backup tool. It is my understanding that it uses hardlinks to keep book on unchanged files between backups. I'd like to mirror my backintime repo to another HDD. As I read through the rsync manpage, there is a -H option which preserves hardlinks. I want to be sure that I'm rsyncing my repo the correct way and would love some feedback from experienced rsync users. Here is my rsync line:
rsync -avxuH --progress --exclude /media/cge/lost+found --delete-after /media/backintime/ /media/aa_data/backup/backintime/
Thanks in advance!

Yep, that'll do the job poifectly
If you have the CPU to spare, I'd also you the --checksum option too, "to be sure, to be sure"
