I want to archive backuppc on machine A to machine B.
(Both are running CentOS-5.6 .)
The problem is that backuppc has different UIDs on the 2 machines:
on A it is 101, on B it is 102.

Now when I NFS mount /archive on machine B on /archive on machine A
I am told that /archive belongs to avahi-autoipd ,
which has UID 102 on machine A.

This seems to prevent backuppc from archiving onto /archive .

Is there any simple way of changing a UID
(together with all the files it owns)?

Alternatively, is there a way of telling backuppc to ignore the UIDs?
