Hi, I define CYGWIN=nontsec as global environment variable. After reboot I install the cygwin-setup-2.602.exe. I only add rsync to the pre selected modules. Then I logged in into the cygwin bash (by using the icon on the desktop) There I tried "rsync -a /cygdrive/c/work /cygdrive/c/backup" All files in /cygdrive/c/backup will be owned by the user who runs the rsync. But the source files in /cygdrive/c/work are owned by another user!
Another strangely effect is that "ls -alnh /" lists all files as owned by the actual user. If I do that as another user the files will also be listet as owned by him, the user who runs the ls. What is the reason for that? Is there a possibility to backup the files from different users (e.g. with rsync) and restore them with the same owner and permissions which they have at backup time?
