Did you try a restore? I believe the ownership and other metadata is (can be) maintained separately from the file, so you really can't tell much by just looking at the ownership etc. of the backup file itself.

Hello, I set up rdiff-backup for backing up my hosts following this howto: http://arctic.org/~dean/rdiff-backup/unattended.html The problem is that *all* files in my backup directory are now owned by "backup:backup" regardless whether it was host:/root or host:/etc :-{ If I run rdiff-backup from the hosts I want to backup as root the ownership is preserved but I wanted to avoid this because there is a lot of trouble with cronjobs as root ... Is there anything I miss or I could do to solve this problem?
