dump for jffs2

[Gad Hayisraeli]

i did not tried the -z option. just the other options. does it matter ?
i tried the latest version of rsync and your suggest also (except -z) , but
the same behaviour !
try it yourself, with root-style-links , and check first that the target
file does not exist at the target dir structure

(i synced /bin/busybox links. busybox does not exist in std. linux distrib.)

  rsync -avz foo:src/bar /data/tmp

        this would recursively transfer all files from the  direc­
        tory  src/bar  on  the  machine foo into the /data/tmp/bar
        directory on the local machine. The files are  transferred
        in  "archive"  mode,  which  ensures  that symbolic links,
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships etc are
        preserved in the transfer.
        ^^^^^^^^^

May this help you?

Regards, Juergen
