This won't work ,
root@source [~]# id dom2inho
uid=507(dom2inho) gid=508(dom2inho) groups=508(dom2inho)
root@source[~]# rsync -avp -e 'ssh ' --fake-super /home/dom2inho
backup@10.0.0.10:/home/backup/
In storage server ,
[root@dest dom2inho]# id backup
uid=505(backup) gid=506(backup) groups=506(backup)
[root@dest dom2inho]# pwd
/home/backup/dom2inho
[root@dest dom2inho]# ll -d /home/backup/dom2inho/shadow
--w------- 1 backup backup 1344 Aug 13 12:52
/home/backup/dom2inho/shadow => not preserving uids or gids
[root@da dom2inho]#
If I am doing something wrong please let me know.
