10.4: Use rysnc to perform automatic backups
Authored by: hypert on May 16, '05 02:52:19PM

Doesn't this leave all of your backed-up files owned by root?

I think it might be better (no matter which program you use) to setup a personal cron job. That way, all files will be owned by your userid.

They should be owned by the "correct" user, he passed -aE to rsync, the rsync man page says -a is "archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD". The -o preserves the ownership.
