use the "--numeric-ids" switch -- John Brooks john@day-light.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Sean Ellis Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 12:43 AM To: Chris Shenton Cc: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org; Bob Martin; Christoph Sold Subject: Re: tape backup from remote ... 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
