Hi all

I'm trying to use bacula for backup of my linux-vservers. These reside under a 
directory /vservers in their own ext3 filesystem. The /vservers directory is 
chmod 0000 (the chroot barrier) and either has "chattr +t" or "setattr 
--barrier" (depending on the linux-vserver version being used).

Backup seems to work, at least the files are counted and can be found within 
the catalog. But when I try to restore some file below /vservers, the director 
reports "ok" and counts the file, but then no file has been written to the 
restore location.

I think that the chmod 0000 of the /vservers directory (or the setattr 
--barrier) is the problem, but I'm unsure. 

Is there a way to tell bacula to ignore the attributes when restoring? Did 
anybody succeed doing linux-vserver backup/restore from the host server using 
bacula? I'm also unsure whether bacula saves/restores the UID/GID of the files 
numerically (as it hopefully does, as each vserver has different UID/GID 
assignments).

Of course, I could install a bacula-fd within each VServer and create 
individual jobs, but backing up the entire /vservers partition at once would 
save me a lot of configuration.

Any ideas?

Regards
