How to backup whole directory over SSH and keep permissions?

2003-07-04 Thread Francis Potter
I'm trying to use rsync to backup a whole system from one machine to another over SSH. I'd like to retain the permissions and groups so I can recover part of the directory. The problem is, the machines are both set up to prohibit root logins over SSH (for security), and of course rsync can't set t
