Hi All, I'm trying a remote backup for the first time. It is between two laptops, I installed rsync 3.0.7 on both compiled
patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-64bit.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-hfs+.dif f patch -p1 <patches/hfs_compression.diff ./configure make this all works perfectly for local backups, clones etc. Everything gets copied as is to the volume. I have tried without ssh keys, with keys, keys with and without passwords (via ssh-agent) and it all works except that it won't copy the correct permissions on System files example run with locked system folder var/audit going to servern...@100.102.15.4 (not my real address here of course): sudo /rsync -aNHAXx --protect-args --fileflags --protect-decmpfs --force-change --stats --progress -vvv --rsync-path=/rsync /private/var/audit servern...@100.102.15.4:/Volumes/Extra/eee Ignore ownership unchecked on dest. The permissions are changed from read&write only on System to read&write on my user account on the receiver. I copied the whole System but the results were the same though some files had permission denied errors. The output on my test folder show nothing remarkable, no errors, etc. Am I missing something here? Any thoughts appreciated or directions to look in.
