I have used following form of rsync to copy huge SVN repositories between locations on Linux. My customer uses the results for one year now, so, i guess that is a perfect copy.

Works for:

rsync version 2.6.8 protocol version 29
other stable rsync versions

I definitely recommend rsync and not copy or cp. Advantage of rsync is that if it fails you can continue, or you can copy a source increment later, after source has changed.

> rsync --owner --group --verbose  --progress --stats --recursive --times --perms --links --compress /var/www/dir/source  /mnt/storage/www/dir/destination

This will also show the progress when it runs….

Does that help to solve your problem?
