Hello,

Does rsync not copy over the acl's? Is there a way to accomplish this?

Many thanks,

James

I don't know about rsync, but off the top of my head I can think of 2 basic approaches. 1) Use star to make a tar backup, then extract it. Maybe you can do it in one pass if you don't want to create the tar backup in the middle. 2) I believe rdiff-backup will create a identical set of files including ACLs. It also creates a set of diffs to allow you to get to older versions. Those all live in a single directory, so just delete the directory after rdiff-backup runs.

rsync on my openSUSE 10.3 has the -A option: -A, --acls preserve ACLs (implies -p) [non-standard] -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) LinuxBrainDump, Linux HowTo's and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbrainddump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
