Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync file restore ownership

[Tony Schreiner]

While an rsync transfer is in progress, parent directories are owned by
root, and changed when all subdirectories are completed.
Could there have been an interruption?

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync file restore ownership

[Pete Geenhuizen]

Not that I'm aware of, but I will say that I was restoring 2 
subdirectories at the same time into my home, and perhaps the restores 
collided with the result that neither restore were able to set the 
ownership correctly when they were done.


I'll have to test that out.

Thanks for the reply.

gone as
expected.

Today I restored 2 directories along with all the files to my home
using
the same method that I've always used, i.e. logged into the web
interface as root and selecting the appropriate files and the
world was
good.

However this time my home directory and the top directory of the 2
directories that I was restoring, ended up being owned by root. 
All the
files in the directories retained the proper ownership, just the
directories themselves were owned by root.

I guess I've missed something in the config file that would ensure
that
the ownership fo the top directories would be correct.

I'm running BackupPC v4.3 on Centos 7.6
