Hello, A recent experiment produced an outcome that seems at odds with the documentation on the "portable" keyword as described at
http://bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#9197 The documentation states that the default is "portable=no" and implies that Windows files restored to *nix system will be unusable (perhaps because NTFS attribute streams could be included in the file data). However after restoring a few Windows files on a Linux system, I observed that the content of the files appears to exactly match the originals. No "portable" keyword appears anywhere in the FileSet specifications. Can anyone shed some light on what specific meaning of "portable" is and what would be broken about Windows data restored on a *nix system (other than missing NTFS file attributes) when portable=no is in effect? Running version 5.2.3.
