    On a slight tangent, how does rsnapshot deal with ext4 uninited extents?

    However rsync does.

    For the actual file copying, rsnapshot largely just delegates to rsync
    with --link-dest. Looks like at least the Debian packaged default
    passes -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded (not
    necessarily in that order).
