Technically, it allows for 100% of the files to be recovered that
cygwin rsync/tar or smb can see. There are ntfs files that won't be
recovered such as NTFS alternate data streams (the data will actually
be *lost* since cygwin explicitly doesn't handle such non-POSIX
files). Also, junctions won't necessarily be recovered (though
in many/most cases at least one copy of the data will be somewhere
else on the system)

Sorry for the nit-picking ;)
