I've found that flexbackup does not correctly preserve the UID/GID of directories, despite the use of "tar -- same-owner". This seems to be due to the interaction between "find" and "tar".
The problem can be fixed by dropping the "-depth" argument to find, so that the directories appear in the file list ahead of the contents of the directories. I was able to fix the problem by commenting out the following line in the file_list_cmd() subroutine: $cmd .= "-depth "; I use flexbackup v1.2.1, GNU find 4.1.7 and GNU tar 1.13.25. P.S. I submitted this sometime ago on flexbackup's "bugs" section on Sourceforge but I'm not sure that anyone uses that. __ Rohan Carly ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
