rsync permission
 

i want to use rsync to backup all the permission of my file ,just like the own,group,link ,permission,time ¡_¡_¡_¡_
i use rsync -abvS --backupdir=./oldbk

but ,when i check it ,i found that the files 'own and group both are nobody ?

why cause that?

the files is belong to becks ,but the backup one is nobody .

and then i copy passwd group shadow from the client to server .

but still nobody ~

help me ~please~~tks~

TRY THE MAN COMMAND
 

if you were to read the manual of rsync 'man rsync'

you would know that -o -g backup the owner and group permissions.

this is not an error or a problem, its laziness.

please man rsync first youseft :

-a, --archive archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD

but thanks for your reply~

my ploblem still ~

i think that may be the rsynv.conf cause it ~


rsync.conf


uid = nobody
gid = nobody

max connections = 4
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log

[doc]
path = /home/bk/doc
ignore errors
read only = no

auth users =doc
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

NO BODY HELP ME ?~

Well, you could try it using the individual commands:
rsync -avzrpog .........

still
