[PLUG] Question on copying ntfs files and directories under linux

[logical american]

Hi:

I booted up knoppix 8.6 as a standalone OS, in order to copy both linux 
and windows partitions to a backup drive, but I am concerned that full 
path information is being correctly copied for the ntfs files and 
directories?

I am using the rsync command to back up the files/directories.

Do I assume everything is fine? The reason I am asking this question, is 
I have seen abbreviated file path information "...." while watching the 
copy under the -v option for verbose display while the copy operation is 
in progress. Abbreviated file paths will not work when a restore is done 
later on.
