rsyncing a github enterprise backup
If you want to rsync your github enterprise backups (made with the github backup tool) you will discover that there are sparse files in there and your destination is much larger than your source. Do your rsync with -aHS and if desired -v, and you will get a suitable result.
Good luck and enjoy.
