Hi all, I have a backup that was created with --fake-super that I need to restore to a fresh partition on the same machine as the backup (source and destination on the same machine).
The docs describe how --fake-super is used to make the backup, but none of the docs describe how you do the reverse and restore. Google is hallucinating some nonsense, so that's a dead end. Can anyone confirm what modification needs to be made to this command line to recover symlinks, permissions and owners: rsync -av --numeric-ids /mnt/backup/root/ /mnt/root/ [--what-extra-params-go-here] Note that both the source and the destination are on the same machine.
