Re: NT-Authority/System will be file owner after rsync restore

Thanks Larry,

One step to the goal ;-)

I lost my /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Do not know why :-(
I create new ones with:
bin>mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
bin>mkpasswd -g > /etc/group

create a new file /etc/test.txt
bin>ls -alh /etc/test.txt
bin>-rwx------+ 1 meyer Kein 0 Dec  1 23:01 /etc/test.txt

Than I run a backup:
After that my backup-protocol shows:
  create   644    18/544           0 etc/Test.txt

But 18/544 is SYSTEM:Administratoren
as /etc/passwd -> SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
and /etc/group -> Administratoren:S-1-5-32-544:544:
shows.

I've tried this with both, "cygrunsrv -I backup ..." as well as
with "cygrunsrv -I backup -e CYGWIN=nontsec ..."

Any further hint?
Thanks
Matthias
