[Cialug] Copying rsnapshots

I have seen notes that "-H" should copy an rsnapshot set and maintain the
hardlinks, ... in this case:

	/u/Zeus

Need to copy [with hard links intact] to:

	/u2

So, .. from /u:

	rsync -aH Zeus /u2

Should copy the set in "Zeus" to u2, right? Well, .. the original set is
278GB, but I had to stop the copy at 6.4TB before running out of space on
/u2.

What is the proper way to copy an rsnapshot set?

	TIA!!!
