Hi, I try to backup WindowsXP as well as Vista to an Linux server. I use backuppc 3.1.0 as backup-server (Debian, ext3), cygwin as client environment and rsyncd for the transport.
The backup seems to work well but the restore not. The restored files get "NT-Authority/System" as new owner, independend from their old owner or if the file not exist before restore. My rsyncd.conf: max connections = 6 log file = /var/log/backup-service.log read only = false write only = false transfer logging = no list = false max verbosity = 6 address = 127.0.0.1 [C] path = /cygdrive/c/ The rsync arguments by backup (extracted from backuppc logfile): Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --bwlimit=512 The rsync logfile, extracted from backuppc logfile: Connected to module C Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --super --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --bwlimit=512 -vv --ignore-times pool 700 1003/513 47 etc/account.sav where 1003/513 are exact the user/group of this file. The rsync logfile from restore (extracted from backuppc logfile): Sending args: --server --numeric-ids --perms --super --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --relative --ignore-times --recursive Sending /etc/account.sav (remote=/account.sav) type = 0 restore 700 4294967295/4294967295 47 /etc/account.sav Done: 1 files, 47 bytes Which user/group is 4294967295/4294967295?
