By including -aH, hard links are preserved in the backup copy. -S handles sparse files in a reasonable way (instead of creating large regular files with lots of zeros). For very large sparse files which changes regularly, one would actually want the first copy to specify -S, but subsequent copies should use "--inplace" instead (not both!). Oh well, this works for now. :)
