my experience is forget rsync, just take it offline and clone it in less than 1-2h with some program or with some docker station (like this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFwdZplM9bg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFwdZplM9bg)) even 1-2 days offline is nothing, and will recover fast, but You have fullcontro and can check the disk and make sure everything cloned.
