3 # values in a LOCAL transfer. For instance, if you mount a backup that
4 # does not have the same passwd setup as the local machine, you can do
5 # a copy FROM the backup area as follows and get the differing ID values
6 # mapped just like a remote transfer FROM the backed-up machine would do:
8 # rsync -av --usermap=`mapfrom /mnt/backup/etc/passwd` \
9 # --groupmap=`mapfrom /mnt/backup/etc/group` \
10 # /mnt/backup/some/src/ /some/dest/
