I am looking to use rclone instead of rsync, the copy performance is 1/3 the time. However I am loosing OWNER, GROUP and PERMISSIONS. Thus have to reset those after the rclone making the copy 1/3rd the time but the overall process after chown and chmod about the same as a normal RSYNC.
sudo rclone sync /source /targetFolder -P -L --create-empty-src-dirs --transfers 64
in this case all the files created are root:root, meaning I have to run chown after the copy.
Latest rclone, on ubuntu 18.04
