Slightly OT maybe: at a customer we run the main data share on the samba file server (access defined via Windows ACLs) ... so far no surprise ;-) then we let a 2nd server pull snapshots via rsnapshot (you know: https://rsnapshot.org/) and provide the resulting tree of snapshots via samba again: read-only, only for some admin users So far OK, runs for years (although it gets slower, other topic)

..."--chown" here: forget the ACLs in the > snapshot, just provide them for the admins to pick files here and there. > > And I wonder if "--numeric-ids" is good in this case. why don't you just make sure users and groups are identical on both machines? i use "-tPrlpogEAX" for many years in a rsync.sh and never call rsymnc directly except scripts with modified params when needed # -z compress # -t timestamps # -P progress # -r recursive # -l links # -p permissions # -o owner # -g group # -E executability # -A acls # -X xtended attributes
