Is there a way to preserve the owner and group permissions without having root access? Well, this is not possible on the filesystem level of course, but what about storing the owner/group information in a supplementary file that can be read by rsync to later reconstruct this information? I'm using rsync to perform a server-to-server backup of a machine's hard drive. If the hard drive

With the following rsync settings: cd /home/lina_backup rsync -R -v -z -rlptgo --delete \ --password-file=password \ --include-from=include --exclude="*" \ --backup --backup-dir=./`date -d yesterday +%Y-%m-%d` \ rsync://root@lina/backup current I would expect the backup directory to be /home/lina_backup/2001-12-29. But it becomes /home/lina_backup/current/2001-12-29. Is this a

How secure is "hosts allow"? I have "hosts allow = bkup" in my rsyncd.conf. Then in /etc/hosts I have: 64.29.16.235 bkup This makes only 64.29.16.235 able to connect to rsync. Could someone spoof their hostname somehow to trick rsync into letting them in, though? e.g. If they reverse DNS says that they're called "bkup".

I have a nightly cronjob that uses rsync to back up the files on another machine. Sometimes, I see error messages like this: send_files failed to open usr/home/setsuna/Maildir/new/1010573771.27924.lina.aaanime.net: No such file or directory It seems that the file existed at the moment rsync started, but as it was running that file (it's a file that stores an e-mail message; presumably the
