Yes, the -a flag to rsync preserves all the attributes
it can and makes it recurse through directories.  I tend
to use it for all remote copies even when scp might work.
It is also good for a quick cut-over to a different machine
because you can do one run ahead of time, them do it again
at the last minute to pick up any changes and the 2nd pass
will be very fast.
