Nice tips, and it appears they make sense. However, please pardon my ignorance, I am not sure I fully understand: > a) Don't do that. Have the uid/gids be the same on the MS > and Debian sides. You mean preserve the the uid/gids on the Debian side so that they are the same as they were on the XP machine? > b) Use --numeric-ids in the rsync script and after it finishes > use find -uid and chown to change the uids to the "right" value. > (Likewise for gids.) >From rsync's man page, --numeric-ids will preserve the numeric ids across transfers. So, it appears that I am on the right track in (a) above. But what should I change these ids to on the Debian side? If the ids are preserved, shouldn't that be fine for the following step as well? Since all I require is that the users on XP be able to browse their own backups on Debian (which, as you wrote in (c), should be accomplished using samba). > > c) Have the users recover/browse their backups with samba > instead of ssh and have samba map the uids/gids "properly".
