I noticed that rsync can preserve most of the file's characteristics
when it is used with "-a" option (it includes -o and -g flags for
preserving owners and groups).
However, when I transfer data between systems, it affects my UIDs/GIDs,
making the data hard to recover.

Is it possible to transfer files with rsync, and to preserve the *exact*
UIDs and GIDs, rather than usernames/groupnames (which in turn point to
invalid UIDs and GIDs)?
rsync --numeric-ids
thanks, I guess I need a better magnifying glass when I search through a
manpage :))
