I have been using Windows 2008 in Parallels on my Mac Server to serve up files to my Windows clients on the network with a USB attached Drobo (NTFS). Now I want to move these files to my Mac Drobo (Mac OS Ext) and maintain as many file attributes as possible, such as date created and modified. Recently I learned how to copy large amounts of data using rsync on my Mac . I assume permissions will not translate, but can I use the same command to copy the data from a NTFS formatted Drobo to the Mac OS Extended Drobo and maintain file attributes/metadata? Here's the commend I used before : sudo rsync -va --progress /Volumes/SourceName /Volumes/DestinationName Thank you.
