Rsync local to remote (outbound) creates snapshot prior to running backup (can anyone confirm)?

Hi All,   Can anyone confirm that when a local-to-remote rsync backup job starts on OS 6.8, a snapshot is first taken of the local share to maintain consistency during the outbound rsync transfer? ...

    The backup process does take a snapshot that it removes again once done. You should see this snapshot if you download the logs during a backup.

mdgm-ntgr is that (temporary pre-backup snapshot) true with all of the backup sources/types/protocols?  I have noticed it with some of my backups, but have always wondered if it was true across the board.

 

Thanks!
