That is done in the /etc/rsyncd.conf file, right?
Yes. Your rsyncd.conf looks good.
Well, I've set it up like you told me to, but after having executed
the first "rsync" I got following permissions on /backups:
755 and "bonny:bonny" as the owner of that directory.
Is this OK?
Why is this happening?
This happens because you used a trailing slash on ACER-TM525TX/ in the
client command line, so ACER-TM525TX is copied onto
rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Backup = /backups itself, so the ownership
and permissions of /backups are set to those of ACER-TM525TX . To
avoid that, copy ACER-TM525TX to a subdirectory of /backups by either
omitting the trailing slash or specifying the subdirectory in either
the rsyncd.conf ( path = /backups/ACER-TM525TX ) or the client command
line ( rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Backup/ACER-TM525TX ).
