Will permissions etc. be preserved for restoring if I do something like rdiff-backup --exclude /BACKUP / /BACKUP rsync -avze ssh /BACKUP address@hidden:/home/user/ although I'm not root on the remote machine? If disaster happens, would I be able to rsync everything back to my local machine into /BACKUP, and thencall rdiff-backup -r /BACKUP /(or something like that)?
Yeah I think that will work fine. rdiff-backup in the 0.13 series stores its metadata (like permissions) in a seperate file. This means that your plan should work fine. I don't recommend backing up / completely - you can find lots about that in the archives.
Thanks for updating the wiki :) dave
