Quoting Rich Shepard <[email protected]>:
I need to rsync the contents of /var/spool/postfix/rshepard from the defunct
desktop's backup drive to the new desktop. I understand that rsync uses ssh
and root is blocked from using ssh. As a user I cannot write to
/var/spool/postfix/. What is the approach that will allow me to transfer
these (and similar system) files from the backup drive to the new desktop?
TIA,
Rich

Rich,
I"m assuming that the old spool is offline because the drive it is on
is flaky.
Try tar gzip the spool and change the ownership of the tarball.
You should be able to transfer the tarball with scp.
