For safety, you can use --backup along with --backup-dir and check the backup files to see if anything was superseded that shouldn't be. However if I were wanting to just reset permissions, I'd use the file-attr-restore perl script in the support directory. It parses the output of a find -ls run (which is generated on the host that has the good permissions). It does not try to fix up any xattrs or acls, though (if you should need that). ..wayne..
