Hi List, I usually use rsync and ssh for backuping up and restoring but it's pretty slow so I tried using rsyncd. This works but when I restored files the owner of all files was nobody instead of the original owner. I tried adding --archive as an option to rsyncd but that's not possible. How can I backup with backuppc and keer the original ownership? Here's my rsyncd.conf: max connections = 2 log file = /var/log/rsync.log timeout = 300 [pub] comment = Random things available for download path = /restored/ read only = no list = yes uid = nobody gid = nogroup auth users = pub secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets Btw I know it says uid = nobody but that's the default so removing it will not fix this. regards Chantal |

Thanks, you are right I should have tried, I use uid=root now and that works.
