I tend to use rsync for copy operations so am I correct in thinking that since the actual backup is done via an rsync with --numeric-ids, it would be best to also do restores using rsync with --numeric-ids? Or am I missing something important here? Another semi-random thought - is there any way to (easily) change the default rsync command that dirvish generates for doing the backup? I have real need to do so, I am just wondering if it is possible.
