Let me start by taking a wild guess and assume you are using rsyncd. The
system your are backing up is *nix based and you don't have a uid=0, gid=0
in your module definition for /etc/rsyncd.conf. If that's all true (or
maybe at least most of it), then the system is working as designed, but not
how you intended. "rsync" sets uid=gid=-2 when placed in daemon mode. This
means that it can only read or write things readable/writable by the user
"nobody". Trust me, its for your own protection :-)
The file that is showing up in your list is world "readable" while all the
others aren't. Check your Xferlogs and you should see a bunch of
permissions errors (number 13 appears on those lines). Go fix your
rsyncd.conf, restart the daemon, and take a fresh backup of all the affected
systems as their current backups are dubius at best. I believe that all the
files that were backed up are perfectly fine as rsync captures the
permissions and BackupPC stores them in the "attrib" files sprinkled
throughout your backup archive directory structure. If its not this, then
please provide some more details surrounding your configuation (config.pl,
[host].pl, rsyncd.conf, all properly scrubbed for passwords and hostname
details).
I would also suggest that you get a chance to excersize the recovery
functions so that you know how they work and that they do in fact work.
Without the uid=0 you would have been unable to restore files with the
proper owner/group/perms (they would have come back as user "nobody" I
believe). Don't forget to set the "read only = false" for the module when
you intend to restore.
