rsync - Jun 2009 - how to keep user/group information when rsyncing to windows for restoring back to linux later?

I want to backup the who linux system to a windows system. The backup will
not be used in windows and will only be used to restore to linux system
later.

So I want to know is it possible to use rsync to keep the user/group and
other permission information in windows file system so I can restore these
information when restoring from windows to Linux?

Thanks

James

Perhaps --fake-super will help. See the manpage for details.
