Hi Martin,
An avid rsync fan here...

Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it
with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership
etc? Is there a
I'm trying to figure out how to cause rsync to
create the file on the backup server with 700 permission
and specific owner "some_user" (not root)
I try to do it in several way with no success.
The command I'm using is:
rsync -r -t -v -z /dir some_user@server::module
so that it don't copy permiss
