the directories on the receiving side, it is a good idea to use bf(-O).
This option is inferred if you use bf(--backup) without bf(--backup-dir).
-+dit(bf(-A, --atimes)) This tells rsync to set the access times of the
-+destination files to the same value as the source files. Note that the
++dit(bf(-k, --atimes)) This tells rsync to keep the access times of the
++destination files the same value as the source files. Note that the
+reading of the source file may update the atime of the source files, so
+repeated rsync runs with --atimes may be needed if you want to force the
+access-time values to be 100% identical on the two systems.
