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):

pool 700 4294967295/4294967295 47 etc/account.sav
I would believe that 4294967295/4294967295 is the uid/gid.
Could be. I don't know much about rsync. However, if that is the uid/gid,
it maps to -1 (don't know why it's represented as a 32-bit value though.)
Anyway, if you and I are right, then my WAG is that your '/etc/passwd'
and/or '/etc/group' file(s) are wrong.
See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-ids> for more details
on Cygwin special IDs.
