Why it fails to specify the permission for backup files with option --chmod when using rsync command?
Issue
When trying to backup files with rsync command as follow:
# rsync -v -rltD --chmod=u+rwx,g+rwx,o+rx /var/log/ /tmp/log
The permission of backup files failed to specify to 775 but became to 755.
# ll /tmp/log/
