Running rsync 2.4.7pre1, using the --backup-dir option, I just realized
today that file ownerships and permissions of backed up files are not
preserved. In other words, if rsync moves an obsolete file to the backup
dir, it's ownership seems to revert to root:root, and permissions change, as
By the way, if it makes a difference, our backup-dir is on a different
partition than the destination directory. I'm not sure if --backup
permissions/ownership are preserved properly if done on the same partition.
