Hello, I tried to use rsync (3.0.5-1) to make backups, but I experienced a strange behaviour. I run the backup script as root, and used the -- backup-dir option. But I cannot read the backup file without being root. More precisly, the directories created by the --backup-dir option have the permission of the root user, not the original ones. For example, the permissions in the destination directory are: > ls -ld /Volumes/data/backup/jdmDesktop /Volumes/data/backup/ jdmLibrary drwx------ 4 jdm jdm 1020 20 mar 21:24 Desktop drwx------@ 47 jdm jdm 1734 28 fév 23:03 Library
And the permissions in the backup directory are: > ls -l /Volumes/data/backup/jdm/rsync-backup/20090321 total 0 drwx------ 2 root jdm 204 21 mar 00:00 Desktop drwx------ 9 root jdm 306 21 mar 00:00 Library Why does rsync change the permissions of the backuped files ? Is it normal ? It seems to me that rsync creates the missing directories in the backup dir using default permissions, without preserving existing ones. Am I missing something ? The full command I run: /sw/bin/rsync -hh --acls --xattrs --archive --prune-empty-dirs -- delete --delete-excluded --ignore-errors -i --backup --backup- dir=rsync-backup/20090321 --filter=. /Users/jdm/.rsync-filter /Users/ jdm/ /Volumes/data/backup/jdm Jean-David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
