This is equivalent to `-rlptgoD`. It is a quick way of saying you want
recursion and want to preserve almost everything (with `-H` being a notable
omission). The only exception to the above equivalence is when

recursion and want to preserve almost everything. Be aware that it does
**not** include preserving ACLs (`-A`), xattrs (`-X`), atimes (`-U`),
crtimes (`-N`), nor the finding and preserving of hardlinks (`-H`).
Note that `-a` **does not preserve hardlinks**, because finding
multiply-linked files is expensive. You must separately specify `-H`.
