You need to tell rsync to preserve those sorts of things...
Here is an example I use:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/"slogin -l
root -o Compression=yes" --recursive --times --links --perms --owner
--group --delete --exclude-from=backup.excludes www.domain.com:/*
/backups/
All hail rsync the mighty!
