Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to make this immutability reversible. After all, even those old backup tapes are mutable if you take them out of storage and start recording on top of what was there.
Why might this be useful? For example you want to protect a certain backup target directory in-between backups (to avoid accidentally losing your backups or having some malicious program delete your backups easily), but you do want to make the directory mutable again when performing new backups. At least this is how I feel, I don't know how other users feel or how it would integrate in the overall philosophy of the software. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "s3ql" group.
