[rdiff-backup-users] Preserving ownership problems

[Steve Annessa]

Hello,

I need to preserve ownership of files and directories across different systems. Right now, I have rdiff-backup pushing from the backup clients to the servers; I would prefer to keep it this way. I have the "--preserve-numerical-ids" option set. When I look at the backups I see that all of the files are owned by the user that ssh'd into the box. Is this a system limitation? The backup server and all clients are running Debian etch and they're all using rdiff-backup 1.1.14.

Thank you,
