As told in the entry: "I’ve wrote this script to restore rdiff-backups with regular users conserving the files ownerships.
The problem is that in modern UNiX systems -like GNU/LiNUX- regular users cannot change the owner of files because this is a security thread, so to allow that rdiff-backup could restore file ownership it must run as superuser -root-. This script acts as a wrapper between regular users and rdiff-backup itself, while it runs with root privileges so it can -and therefore do- restore file ownership. It requires xinetd, but may be you can do it run with other tcp wrappers like the older inetd or so." http://marzoa.com/2009/03/01/xrestore-an-script-for-rdiff-backup-script/ Hope it may be useful for someone.
