Ok I tested it and it's working as you said - on the backup server all files have ownership 'backup:backup' but if I restore the files on the source hosts they got "automagically" back their original ownership :) Thank you very much for your help Greg! And thanks Remi as well for your very sophisticated answer - but your solution scared me even more and I'll stick with the simple way I've set it up at the moment ;-) Greetz Stefan _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
