rsync -av --delete /sourceFolder/ /Mounted cifs format windows share folder/












0















I successfully mounted the windows share folder by editing /etc/fstab. Now I'm trying to rsync from Ubuntu folders to the mounted windows share folder in Ubuntu system.



I'm using the command "rsync -av --delete /sourceFolder/ /Mounted cifs format windows share folder/". Everything works fine without the option for the permissions.



The copied file permissions follow the uid, gid, dir_mode options in /etc/fstab file not the rsync -a option.
Is there a workaround to preserve the file permissions when backing up? Or Is my approach wrong genetically?
