Hi, Version: 1.2.8
diff-backup has the ability to store metadata separately, e.g. in case the destination filesystem does not support metadata or the user does not have permission to chown() etc. However, it also still chown()'s and chmod()'s if it can. It would be nice if there was an option to prevent any sort of metdata storage on the destination filesystem (and files would only be created according to the umask). The reason is that I have a few files and directories with 0000 permissions and those create errors on the destination, when storing the backups themselves to tape. It seems a bit counterproductive to store metadata externally but also insist on using chmod() if possible.
