------- Comment #4 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-07-20 10:36 CST ------- (In reply to comment #3) > Is there a tool to save permissions and then reapply them? > This would work for me. The rsync source package comes with a Perl tool to reapply attributes of your choice (permissions, user owners, and/or group owners), which you can also find here: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/file-attr-restore . The corresponding attribute-saving tool is just "find . -ls". Another alternative you might consider is using rdiff-backup ( http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ ). It makes a backup zone containing a full tree of the most recent backup, a separate listing of all the original attributes (so they are known if the attributes on the backup tree are never set or get corrupted), and a chain of backward deltas of files and attributes for previous backups. The advantage is that you get data and attributes for all backups in less space than with rsync --link-dest; the disadvantage is that, to restore files from a previous backup, you have to go through rdiff-backup rather than copying the files out directly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
