/usr/bin/rsync --stats -ae "ssh" --rsync-path="sudo /usr/bin/rsync" /my rsync@host1:/backup/my I'm running the above command as user rsync (on both the local and remote system). Both rsync users are in /etc/sudoers and permitted to run the command as root /usr/bin/rsync and I have ssh-kegen stuff setup correctly. tested aka: ssh host1 who (no passwd asked for) The problem: the local files get permission denied on root owned files subdirs. If I add sudo /usr/bin/rsync --stats -ae "ssh" --rsync-path="sudo /usr/bin/rsync" /my rsync@host1:/backup/my I get prompted for a ssh passwd. Has anyone solved or done this?
