Hi, I try to backup WindowsXP as well as Vista to an Linux server. I use backuppc as backup-server, cygwin as client environment and rsync for transport. The backup seems to work well but the restore not. The restored files will have "NT-Authority/System" as new owner, independend from their old owner or if the file not exist before restore. My rsyncd.conf: max connections = 6 log file = /var/log/backup-service.log read only = false write only = false transfer logging = no list = false max verbosity = 6 address = 127.0.0.1
[C] path = /cygdrive/c/ The rsync arguments by backup (extracted from backuppc logfile): Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --bwlimit=512 The rsync logfile from restore (extracted from backuppc logfile): Sending args: --server --numeric-ids --perms --super --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --relative --ignore-times --recursive C/etc/ Sending /etc/account.sav (remote=/account.sav) type = 0 restore 700 4294967295/4294967295 47 /etc/account.sav Done: 1 files, 47 bytes Maybee the error based on the backup because The rsync logfile from backupextracted from backuppc logfile): Connected to module C Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --super --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --bwlimit=512 -vv --ignore-times pool 700 4294967295/4294967295 47 etc/account.sav I would believe that 4294967295/4294967295 is the uid/gid.
