Copy a backup of timeshift from one harddrive to another

[bjce]

I want to copy a timeshift backup on another drive. Is it possible to do it using rsync and hard links with the following command:

rsync -az -H --delete --numeric-ids --mkpath --progress "/media/user/HardDrive01/timeshift" "/media/user/HardDrive02"

If not what is the reason and is there an alternative?

I think it makes sense.

I remember having read that timeshift only uses symbolic relative links and you should not use hard links. Not 100 % sure. But I have often used rsync to move backups between disks.
