Hi - I want to run rdiff-backup from cron as root to backup all user folders under /home/ -- this works fine, however, I am having trouble with ownership of files ...
If I run rdiff-backup as root, the "rdiff-backup-data" is also owned by root -- this means I have to *be* root in order to view the incremental backups (I am using archfs). What I would like to do, is somehow preserve the ownership of the files/increments so that users can simply mount my /mnt/rdiff-backup-directory (read-only mount) and browse their backed up files ... giving them the same access they would have had with the originals ... Is there an easy way to go about doing this ? Or, will I have to create a new backup for each user's cron ? I tried using --preserve-numerical-ids ... but, the rdiff-backup-data is still owned by root ... Any ideas?
