   Yes rsync has switches, so you can turn things on and off so you get what you   
   want. Find the -a switch and turn it on, you might like it.   
      
   (Also other programmes also have switches for much the same reason.)   
      
   Grsync is a front end to rsync. (the -a switch is on the front panel)   
      
   There are many backup programmes. Some of them use rsync to so the heavy   
   lifting.   
      
   I have found that borg backup with Vorta as the front end to be worthwhile.
