Will an Incremental Synchronization Overwrite the Existing Data on a Launched Target Server?

After a target server is launched when the migration is complete, new data will be written to target server disks as the services run. If you perform an incremental synchronization, the existing data on the target server disks will be overwritten by the data in corresponding directories on the source server, except for directories excluded by the rsync.exclude.dir parameter in the /SMS-Agent/agent/config/g-property.cfg file and the partitions that are not migrated.

Back up data on the target server before performing incremental synchronizations.

You are not advised to delete the original value of rsync.exclude.dir.
