Hi all, Quickly drawing attention to the PR below, which solves a permissions problem for us.
https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/pull/751 We back up unix hosts, and the remote permissions are stored in attributes as per --fake-super, so far so good. We also need to give people user level - not root - access to these backups, and this is currently impossible because the remote permissions stored in the attributes are also applied to the files themselves. The only way to get access to the backup files is to have root access to the backup box, which means you can destroy the backup box if you choose to. The patch solves the problem by optionally only storing remote permissions in attributes, and leaving the actual backup file permissions to permissions that make sense on the backup box. In other words, you can give read access to backups now. Regards, Graham --
