Retain owner and file permissions info when syncing to AWS S3 Bucket from Linux
10:35 25 Dec 2016

I am syncing a directory to AWS S3 from a Linux server for backup.

rsync -a --exclude 'cache' /path/live /path/backup
aws s3 sync  path/backup s3://myBucket/backup --delete

However, I noticed that when I want to restore a backup like so:

aws s3 sync s3://myBucket/backup path/live/ --delete

The owner and file permissions are different. Is there anything I can do or change in the code to retain the original Linux information of the files?

Thanks!
