You should set both to root so that the server (more properly called a
daemon) has the power to set the ownership of the backup files.
Otherwise, the daemon will silently skip setting the ownership.
That is done in the /etc/rsyncd.conf file, right?
Mine is as follows:
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
[Backup]
path = /backups
comment = Server di backup
uid = root
gid = root
read only = no
list = yes
auth users = bonny
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt
In rsyncd.scrt I have user:password for my normal user (bonny).
On the client I state:
rsync -aPvz ACER-TM525TX/ rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Backup
which actually has permitted me to copy over that first directory.

The daemon will work no matter what the permissions and ownership of
/backup are because it has root power. However, you may wish to copy
/home onto /backup/home rather than /backup (if you weren't planning
to do so already) and then set /backup to 700 permissions and
root:root ownership. That would prevent other users on the server
computer from accessing the backup directly.
Well, I've set it up like you told me to, but after having executed
the first "rsync" I got following permissions on /backups:
755 and "bonny:bonny" as the owner of that directory.
Is this OK?
Why is this happening?
Many thanks so far...
