I replicate from stage to live with a a script that uses rsync to move the
files.
With rsync you will be able to replicate only the files that have changed,
and also preserve ownership. It's also faster and can securely copy between
servers.

Hi there:
I've written a simple script that's moving files from a staging
server location to the live server area (virtual servers on the same
Linux box).
I'm doing it by creating a TAR file from specified files in the
staging area, copying the TAR file over to the live area, and
extracting it.
My problem is that all files coming out of the archive are having the
user and group 'apache' assigned to them. Is it possible to
accomplish this without altering the user/group information?
(The script is being run from a Web interface...PHP scripts are being
parsed by the PHP Apache module, not the CGI version.)
Cheers,
