Hello,
I have an (non-root) account on a backup server that does NOT have
rdiff-backup installed. (And frankly, I doubt that it'll install at all on
a Redhat 7.0 / 2.2.24 machine that only has a basic Python 1.5
installation ...)
I also have lots of local space.
Will permissions etc. be preserved for restoring if I do something like
rdiff-backup --exclude /BACKUP / /BACKUP
rsync -avze ssh /BACKUP user < at > backup-server:/home/user/
although I'm not root on the remote machine? If disaster happens, would I be
able to rsync everything back to my local machine into /BACKUP, and then
call
rdiff-backup -r /BACKUP /
(or something like that)?
Thanks!
(This has also been posted on
http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/FAQs, I will update the
Wiki if anybody replies here.)
