hi there, i've read the following e-mail http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-July/013052.html and i'm now trying to solve the same problem. any hints? regards, jozef
Rsync doesn't know anything about Windows file permissions. Furthermore, as far as I know, there is no way for any process to read the Windows file permissions of a Samba-mounted share. I would recommend using a Windows-specific backup tool in addition to or instead of rsync. Matt
