I commented out those options, and did a full backup with Windows (so I guess commenting the options works fine). I got entries like this (lots of same and pool, a few create for empty file, and all the usuall create d for directories): create 644 0/0 0 Filename same 644 0/0 2249 Filename pool 644 0/0 1117184 Filename create d 755 0/0 0 Dirname So it looks like I dropped the user/group, but the file permissions are still there. Then I did an incremental in Windows, which was the same as before (short and sweet). Then a long incremental in Linux gave entries like this (lots of same, lots of create for empty file, the usual create d): create 555 0/0 0 Filename same 555 0/0 41812 Filename create d 555 0/0 0 Directory This is exactly as before, so removing the options from rsync really had no effect on the linux backup. Just for completeness, here are the backup size summaries, full (17) and first incr (18) are on Windows, other (19) is on linux: 17 full 4731 2140.6 10.10 4731 2140.6 292 0.1 18 incr 0 0.0 0.00 0 0.0 3 0.0 19 incr 4731 2140.6 16.59 4731 2140.6 5 0.0 I feel like I'm closer, but I don't understand why rsync seems to be preserving the permissions on Windows even when I've told it not to. Any ideas? Do I need to empty my pool in order for the rsync option changes to be effective? Could this be related to how I'm mounting the Windows filesystem under linux (with options ro,users,auto,group,umask=0222)?
