Is there a way to backup files to a remote machine on which I don't have
root permission, while preserving their uids/gids? I know that only the
super-user can set the owner and group of a file, so what I am actually
looking for is a tool that would store the actual uids/gids of all files
that are backuped by rsync in a kind of meta-file. This file could then
be used to restore the files with their original owner- and group
membership.
Thanks for your help.
David
