Hi Everyone

I'm trying to back up /home to an external hard drive (maxtor usb) andwanted to keep the file permissions but when I do a

cp -ar /home /media/usb it complains about not being able to do thepermissions and they all go across as root instead.


Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Bryan
