The only problem, I'm looking at the Amanda suggestions. Just to get the ball rolling I decided to make local copies of the more important files with rsync. Until the tape is installed and up. I copied a directory tree last night using -avz as switches, no daemon running; the files lost their ownership in the copying. I've been searching and doing some experimenting. Running rsync as a daemon on the backup server with uid = root in the rsyncd.conf seems to preserve the ownership. Is there a better way of achieving this? Most of the users and groups on the source machine don't exist on the destination machine. -- Sean
