cp puts the 'current' timestamp on the files, if it works then great.

rsync is a swiss knife; the 'rsync -a' does a lot more than merely copy the
file(s).
Please RTFM 'man rsync', the -a expands to quite a few rsync options that
govern the file(s) to sync (copy)
(--archive, -a archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)
