Can Rsync be used to copy files in a ntfs partition to another ntfs partition?
I bought a new hard disk and wanted to copy all files in a ntfs partition to another ntfs partition. These files are pdf files and bak files used both by win7 and ubuntu.
Can Rsync be used to sync files in a ntfs partition to another ntfs partition?
Thanks

If you mount both source and destination NTFS pertitions on your Ubuntu machine, I doubt thatrsyncwill care about the underlying filesystems. Have you tried it and failed?

rsync is originally unix utility to sync source and destination. Now rsync is even ported to windows as well. You may need cygwin or mingw on windows machine for the same.
Only condition is that both operating system should see each other's filesystem and ssh should be enabled both side.
rsync -avz -e ssh /cygwin/c/song.mp3 root@192.168.56.101:/data

You can install rsync in cygwin on Windows and do the data copy. Just like you are in a *NIX terminal session.
The path naming is a bit different.
For example, if you want to copy all data from partition E: to F: => rsync -av --progress --stats /cygdrive/e /cygdrive/f
