rsync doesn't copy aliases fully
Hi
I use rsync with options -aHv to make backups. Unfortunately all aliases will be copied only partly. Is there an option to avoid this?
Any hint is welcome.
Regards and thanks in advance.

I'm looking to use rsync to compare remote files and to copy the diff to a local directory, rather than transfer over the net.
