rsyncd

Server (e.g. the Samba4.0 DC)
e.g. /home on the DC contains:


drwxr-xr-x  3 root  root   4096 Apr 22 22:19 guests
drwx------  2 root  root  16384 Feb 15 01:24 lost+found
drwxrwxrwt  4 root  root   4096 Apr 22 22:37 profiles
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  root   4096 Apr 20 22:58 shared
drwxr-xr-x 58 steve users  4096 May 27 08:19 steve
drwxr-xr-x  7 root  root   4096 May 15 17:20 users

We want to sync it across to a new fileserver


/etc/rsyncd.conf

[sfolder]
uid = root
gid = root
read only = no
path = /home

Then restart rsyncd
systemctl start rsyncd

open rsync and ssh on firewall

to get e.g. the shared folder over to the /home folder on the new file server:
sudo rsync -AXauzv hh16::sfolder/shared .

This preserves the extended attributes and acl's.
