Ownership and permissons?
Hello, When I encrypt (as root) a file what's owned by "paul", then the ownership becomes "root". After decryption (as root) the ownership is still root... Will rsyncrypto change the ownership of the files? And will it change the permissions? I would like to do a full system backup with rsyncrypto, but I need to keep the ownership and permissions.

Maybe it is possible to save the ownership and permissions of all files into a file? Something like that is also used to store Linux backups on e.g. FAT. ( I make a local copy of the system before the encryption, so no risk on changings. ) With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Come build with us!

Do you need to change the program to implement it? A problem is that I would like to backup the files without root privileges on the backup server. When all permissions and ownership would be in a seperate file this would not be a problem. Making a big tar.gz from the encrypted FS would be an option, but with the disadvantage that I could not use hardlinks on the backupserver to save diskspace.
