Look again at your RsyncArgs, they don't match the defaults [1], though obviously your system may justify it:
-o, --owner This option causes rsync to set the owner of the destination file to be the same as the source file, but only if the receiving rsync is being run as the super-user (see also the --super and --fake-super options). Without this option, the owner of new and/or transferred files are set to the invoking user on the receiving side... -g, --group This option causes rsync to set the group of the destination file to be the same as the source file. If the receiving program is not running as the super-user (or if --no-super was specified), only groups that the invoking user on the receiving side is a member of will be preserved. Without this option, the group is set to the default group of the invoking user on the receiving side... And correspondingly: --super This tells the receiving side to attempt super-user activities even if the receiving rsync wasn't run by the super-user. These activities include: preserving users via the --owner option, preserving all groups(not just the current user's groups) via the --groups option, and copying devices via the --devices option. This is useful for systems that allow such activities without being the super-user, and also for ensuring that you will get errors if the receiving side isn't being run as the super-user. To turn off super-user activities, the super-user can use --no-super. Defaults are (--one-file-system is often overlooked): $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ '--super', '--recursive', '--protect-args', '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '-D', '--times', '--links', '--hard-links', '--delete', '--delete-excluded', '--one-file-system', '--partial', '--log-format=log: %o %i %B %8U,%8G %9l %f%L', '--stats', # # Add additional arguments here, for example --acls or --xattrs # if all the clients support them. # #'--acls', #'--xattrs', ]; [1] https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/blob/174e707c0f64d9fe6eb699612be35fa214cafc3f/conf/config.pl#L1276-L1300
