Worked fine for me actually.

# md5sum lastlog
ab7557d582484a068c3478e342069326  lastlog
# rsync -avH lastlog  /mnt/
sending incremental file list
lastlog

sent 364,001,522 bytes  received 35 bytes  48,533,540.93 bytes/sec
total size is 363,912,592  speedup is 1.00
# cd /mnt
# md5sum lastlog
ab7557d582484a068c3478e342069326  lastlog
