Rsync an offline database?

BillDorrian
Is rsync a good way to make a valid copy of offline database files (TSM, in this case) from one xfs filesystem to another? If so, which options should I use?

Once again, the database services would be shut down, so the database would be offline.

If the database isn't running then the database files are just files
and rsync is as good of a tool as any to copy them.

Thanks Kevin. Just doing a little sanity check before I go and copy 4TB worth of database files!

When in doubt, test a restore of your backup.

In fact, test it even if you are sure.
