Hello.
I need the correct UID and GID to be written to the log file when backing up, rather than being installed on the files in the copy.
When using the fake-super option, symlinks are stored as files, consequently, an inexperienced user will not be able to turn this file into a symlink just by copying it
And then analyzing the log I can write a bash script to restore UID and GID files
