Hi Brian,
I *think* -O means that if you do something in the target folder that amends the modification time for the folder, it won't necessarily overwrite the timestamp during the next backup. Bear in mind this script has been growing (from many sources) over a period of maybe 10 years ... at some point something somewhere suggested this and it appears to do no harm ..
In terms of "-z", I find that over a local network, -z slows things down, and over a wide area network (broadband) it speeds things ...
