- -o, --owner
- This option causes rsync to set the owner of the destination file to be the same as the source file,
- but only if the receiving rsync is being run as the super-user (see also the --super and --fake-super
- options). Without this option, the owner of new and/or transferred files are set to the invoking user
- on the receiving side.
- The preservation of ownership will associate matching names by default, but may fall back to using the
- ID number in some circumstances (see also the --numeric-ids option for a full discussion).
- --numeric-ids
- With this option rsync will transfer numeric group and user IDs rather than using user and group names
- and mapping them at both ends.
- By default rsync will use the username and groupname to determine what ownership to give files. The
- special uid 0 and the special group 0 are never mapped via user/group names even if the --numeric-ids
- option is not specified.
- If a user or group has no name on the source system or it has no match on the destination system, then
- the numeric ID from the source system is used instead. See also the comments on the "use chroot" set‐
- ting in the rsyncd.conf manpage for information on how the chroot setting affects rsync’s ability to
- look up the names of the users and groups and what you can do about it.
- sudo rsync -av --chown=vmail:vmail --force --delete --progress user@my_backup_server:/home/user/backups/vmail/ /vmail/
