Hmm. I actually use rsync 10x more than tar. For most of my
needs, I want a good rolling snapshot. Rsync handles that role
well. I use tar when I want a dated archive.

Even when doing simple local copies, I will use rsync before tar.
I avoid cp whenever it is more than 1 file.

vim vs. emacs
qmail vs. postfix
bsd vs. linux

Now we have rsync vs. tar :)
