Well fortunately, for Bacula the data for all files on any Unix filesystem can be backed up by standard Unix APIs. Unfortunately the bozos that implemented extended attributes and/or access control lists on Unix systems all did it differently, which requires special code for each OS. Since I only run ext3 filesystems, I rely on user contributions to implement extended attributes and access control lists. > > -- > Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work > my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php > PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference - http://www.pgcon.org/ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
