Hi all,
I have a backup that was created with --fake-super that I need to restore to a
fresh partition on the same machine as the backup (source and destination on the
same machine).
The docs describe how --fake-super is used to make the backup, but none of the
docs describe how you do the reverse and restore.
Google is hallucinating some nonsense, so that's a dead end.
Can anyone confirm what modification needs to be made to this command line to
recover symlinks, permissions and owners:
rsync -av --numeric-ids /mnt/backup/root/ /mnt/root/
[--what-extra-params-go-here]
Note that both the source and the destination are on the same machine.
Regards,
Graham
