I tried to copy some data using cwRsync on Windows, and so far this only resulted in failures. Copying is done from a network share from another PC to a local disc, on Windows 10. No SSH.
Command used:
rsync -rltDHUN --no-p --no-o --no-g --verbose --progress --stats
The main issue is - rsync doesn't re-create hardlinks and symlinks/junctions.
Instead of symlinks I get some files with no extension that don't do anything. Instead of hardlinks I get regular files that aren't linked.
Log says it created 263 links, while in the source data there are tens of thousands of them.
What could be the issue?
Did some more tests, and seem the issue is with the network share.
For anything copied locally, on both source and destination PCs, links get re-created. The problem is that the destination of the copy is on NVMe drive, and source PC has no way to install such drive to do a local copy, doesn't have the slot.
