You have just found out that BPC v3.3.* does not support backing up ACL and xattr file permissions. (Sorry) Several months ago I posted a similar question and Craig suggested that I try BPC v4.0 as it supported ACL and xattr backup. I did install BPC v4.0. Sadly, it too has some problem with errors when activating ACL and xattr options. I have asked similar questions in the past and they have "fallen on deaf eyes." Apparently the ACL and xattr attributes feature are too new . . . yet. I ended up finding a way to backup those ACL and xattr directories with a rsync command with the "-A" and "-X" options activated. What I discovered (and I could be wrong) is that the problem lies in 'rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3' that has been written by Craig Barratt (I think.) I am sure he will have time, at some point in the future, to correct the issue. ----- Original Message -----

I'm running a samba server set up to integrate Windows permissions on ext4 filesystem using the acl_xattr samba module. Everything is working. Now I would to backup everything on that machine using an already running backuppc. The backuppc machine is a Debian 8.2 . BackupPC package's version is 3.3.0-2. Rsync version is 3.1.1-3 on both sides (host to backup and backuppc) If I add --xattrs and --acls to the RSync arguments in the XFer config, I get the following log: ------------------ full backup started for directory /data/tdp Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root patrick /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --ignore-times . /data/tdp/ --xattrs --acls Xfer PIDs are now 1931 Got remote protocol 31 Negotiated protocol version 28 Read EOF: Tried again: got 0 bytes fileListReceive() failed Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed) ---------------------- If I run rsync directly on the host "patrick" with a --dry-run, options seems to be correct. So why backuppc backups hang if I append those options? Any suggestion?
