I wanted to backup an aws machine and exclude os files, only user files including root owned ones which need sudo permission to read.

What do you mean by "files with sudo permission"? Also, how is this problem related to programming? – Nico Haase Jun 01 '23 at 08:50

-e ssh: specifies that the rsync command should use the ssh protocol for the transfer.
--rsync-path="sudo rsync" fixes the permission denied for non-user owned files and folders
