May 8, 2012 at 11:20 comment added Mikel The sudo group is only useful for running sudo. I'm not sure if the admin group is used for anything. For this to work the way you want, you need to actually be the root user on the remote system.

May 8, 2012 at 11:08 comment added George M Since you are running rsync with ssh, are you using public key authentication?

May 8, 2012 at 10:51 comment added Thomas Clayson This is basically the rsync command we are running: rsync -e ssh -az [email protected]:/home /location/of/local/folder
May 8, 2012 at 10:51 comment added Thomas Clayson That doesn't seem to have any effect. I assume because sudo on the local machine has no effect on the remote machine.
May 8, 2012 at 10:46 comment added Phil You'll have to run the rsync command with sudo.
May 8, 2012 at 10:40 comment added Thomas Clayson @favadi I've already done that... still not working.
May 8, 2012 at 10:39 comment added Thomas Clayson @Phil I am trying to back up the whole /home directory. Files/directories that are failing are ones such as /home/a/c/account/users/mail:username which have permissions like drwx------ and owned by mail:4096. I assume that because user backups is in the group sudo or admin it doesn't have access because there are no access permissions for groups? I dunno, but its erroring on folders/files like that.
May 8, 2012 at 10:33 comment added favadi add user backups to sudo and admin do not change anything.
May 8, 2012 at 10:18 comment added Phil Can you give examples of paths? If it's ones in /proc,/dev etc then errors are to be expected.
