Here is a better explanation of my question.
If rsync backups $Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} are set to include acls & xattrs
attributes in backups.
During a restore, will BackupPC v4.4.0 restore the acls & xattrs?
In other words if BackupPC backs up acls & xattrs attributes does it
restore them OR do these, or some of these (listed below) need to be set
to include acls or xattrs during restores????
/$Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} = []; $Conf{RsyncFullArgsExtra} = ['--checksum'];
$Conf{RsyncIncrArgsExtra} = []; $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} = [ ... ];
$Conf{RsyncRestoreArgsExtra} = [];/

I did not think that 3.3 was still in use but, yes, I suspect some are
still using it. Did not mean to offend anyone.
In my case:
OS: CentOS 8.2.2004
BackupPC: V4.4.0
