Re^4: How do I allow my test script to get rsync to archive file ownership?

If I have a directories with a mix of file and group ownerships, ideally, I'd like to preserve them with rsync's archive option. If I upload those files to the server from a backup without the archive option, my file and group ownerships will be lost.

Instead of trying to make rsync/tar/whatever preserve this zoo, I would try to avoid such a mix in the first place.	[reply]
