Managers,
I'm sure somebody can help with this. I need to mirror users directories
daily from one Tru64 4.0e source server to another target server and have
all the users , groups and file permissions set as the source.
I use mirror 2.9 perl script which is widely used for this purpose to mirror
directories from source to target servers , I added to the crontab to run
every 24 hours.
I can't make this script to preserve users , groups and file permissions on
the target server. The script runs on the target server and logs on to the
source server as root. It copies all the files with changed time stamp
correctly but at the end, root becomes the owner of the mirrored volume and
all the directories.
Have anyone used this script in the same way I'm trying to use ? or if there
is another way to do the mirror without having to dump the data to a tape
from the source server and restore to the target ?
I would appreciate any hints.
Thanks.
