Saving ownership as non-root

[Robert Siemer]

Hello everybody!

Out of curiosity: What (backup) solutions do you use to let rsync store
device files and ownership permissions without root privileges?

I found out about "fakeroot" so far. Is there actually a practical use
for the "--super" option? I didn't find anything as fakeroot doesn't
need it...

Additionally it would be a nice idea to refer to "fakeroot" from the
rsync manual. - It took me a day to find that out. And am still looking
for alternatives... Anyone?


Thanks,
		Robert
