rsync Folks, Firstly, thanks heaps to the maintainers of rsync - such a valuable utility. We have a scenario where we need to take a copy of a filesystem, and use rsync to do so, but would like to retain the original access times on the source files. I did not find an option to do this, and would be grateful for advice if this is possible. If not, we have a case where an enhancement (--restore-access-times ?) would be valuable, to us at least. --restore-access-times rsync restores the pre-existing access time after accessing a file (System dump utilities like xfsdump do restore (or not update) access times.)
