-S, --sparse
              Try to handle sparse files efficiently  so  they  take  up  less
              space on the destination.  Conflicts with --inplace because it's
              not possible to overwrite data in a sparse fashion.

              NOTE: Don't use this option when the destination  is  a  Solaris
              “tmpfs”  filesystem.  It  doesn't seem to handle seeks over null
              regions correctly and ends up corrupting the files.
