<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yes, and actually add a z to rsync -av

The only things that can potentially be a problem are the DB_File
based stuff like the users and dxqsl files. DB_File seems to be
very reliable - and cross platform - these days, but if something
happens everything can be regenerated from user_json etc.<br>
