hi All,
I have just started playing with rsync and in need of some guidance.
rsync (version 2.4.6) was installed on the "server", and version 2.4.1 on
the "client"
On the server side, directories are shared using path such as below
#/etc/rsyncd.conf
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = root
gid = root
[folder_1]
comment = Old_Server (Remote)
path = /data/tools
[folder_2]
comment = Old_Server (Remote)
path = /data/Admin
On the Client side,
rsync -avz Old_Server::folder_1 /backup/folder_1
Everything seems to work fine, all permission bits are kept, however the UID
and GID comes up as numbers. Does the 2 machines require the the same
/etc/passwd file, and its shadow ??
What is the best way to manage this ??
Also, is there any way to rsync the whole file system ?? so I don't have to
set 20 different paths in the rsyncd.conf.
Thanks in advance
Ricky
