He has that set - '-a'

from man entry...

   -a, --archive               archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)

It a bit baffling as I do almost exactly the same over nfs version 3.
But to another linux machine that I setup - not some NAS box.

One thing I have added recently is --numeric-ids option as I found that
while I keep all user uids equal across my system, some of the system
uids - those less than 1000 e.g. for various demon services etc - change
depending on distro and version of distro it seems. So some of my backup
had their uids changed to match to same username on the NFS server. When
I copied back after a disk break I got a few niggles. I don't know why I
thought it should have mapped back - but ... who knows. The --numeric-ids
means I dont have to care how I put the files back.
