[rdiff-backup-users] Full backups from / downwards

[Marcus Williams]

Hi -

I want to back my entire server up to a remote site. On the remote site 
I dont want to use a user with any special privileges. Whilst I 
obviously need to have enough privs on the machine to be backed up to be 
able to read all files, do the user privs on the remote machine actually 
matter? I suppose what I'm asking is are the ownership/perms details 
stored as metadata with the actual backups being stored (and owned by) 
the backup user, or are these details reflected in the backup files 
themselves (using standard ownership/perms).

Thanks

Marcus
