Using rsync with CIFS or SMB (Windows) Destination

26 11 2011
This took me a good bit of reading and trial/error, but here are rsync options that I found to work well with a Windows target (tested with a CIFS mount) from a Linux ext3 filesystem without errors.


rsync -rvztO --progress --stats --copy-links  --dry-run  /source/path /destination/path
