The current statistics are as follows: o Number of files is the count of all 'files' (in the generic sense), which includes directories, symlinks, etc. O Number of files transferred is the count of normal files that were updated via rsync’s delta-transfer algorithm, which does not include created dirs, symlinks, etc. O Total file size is the. 'Copy symlinks as symlinks' means exactly what it says: If rsync sees a symlink in the source directory, it will create an identical symlink in the destination. (A few lines down in the manual page, a different option, -copy-links, describes the opposite behavior (always copying the data) which you described as undesirable.). As stated in rsync's man page, the -a (archive) switch is equivalent to -rlptgoD. However, I have a situation where I don't want symbolic links retained. Is there any way to keep using the -a switch and prevent copying of symbolic links? I could write -rptgoD every time, but it's a bit long.
