You didn't specify owner or group preservation. I recommend using -a (--archive) so that you get everything preserved and everything copied. It sounds like you have already updated the daemon config so that the receiving side is running as root (which makes the preservation of ownership possible). In rsync 3.0.0 (which is not yet released), there is a way to run a non-root daemon that can save privileged information: the --fake-super option will store things like ownership info (etc.) into an extended attribute. This will allow a daemon to run as user nobody without losing the ability to backup and restore the full details of files. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
