I have noticed that the Raq 3 CMU (RaQ3-all-CMU Release 1.1-22) does not seem to preserve file owners when you transfer sites from one Raq 3 to another. For example, if you have FrontPage enabled for a site, when you restore the web page files, all of the files will have the owner "nobody" regardless of what the owner was of the files on the machine that you backed up from. I am trying to use tar to back up the files for each site and then restore the files onto the new Raq 3. When I restore the files on to the new Raq 3, I have noticed that the group for each file is changed from a site number (ex. site23) to just a number (ex. 144). If I use chgrp to change the file/directory owners to the correct group (based on what the new site number is), will there be any problems? Also, I am using the following tar options to backup/restore the files (I'm not a Unix expert.. yet): backup: tar cvfW [tar file] [directory to back up] restore: tar xvf [tar file] [location to restore to] Will these options back up and restore all of the required file information (owner, permissions, etc.) for everything to work correctly?
