Hi list!
I did some research on this topic and stumbled at this page: http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/pages/extattrs.html> Does it restore all attributes in case? Or is there any additional stept > to be aware of?BackupPC does not handle ACL's, SElinux, etc. Those must be separately backed up... rsync 3.0.9 supports xattributes but I assume neither BackupPC nor the perl rsync used by BackupPC supports them, correct? So we have to backup (and restore) these attributs seperately. With Linux we have the getfattr and setfattr commands. So I created a short dump script which dumps the xattributes in a seperate file which can be backed up by BackupPC with the DumpPreShareCmd setting. For restore create a symlink to the file and it will restore the xattr properly if configuread as "RestorePostUserCmd". Be aware it can only restore the full file system, no entire files! Just as a base for own solutions: cat dump_xattr.sh #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" == "" ] ; then exit 255; fi pushd $1 getfattr --dump -R *> user_xattr.dump #to restore use setfattr --restore user_xattr.dump |
