This is explained within the Bacula documentation. I quote from the manual, under the Windows Compatibility Considerations heading: "You should always be able to restore any file backed up on Unix or Win95/98/Me to any other system. On some older Windows systems, you may have to reset the ownership of such restored files. Finally, if you specify the portable=yes option on the files you back up. Bacula will be able to restore them on any other system. However, any Windows specific security and ownership information will be lost." If you do not specify portable=yes in the Fileset, then files backed up on any Windows client that uses the NTFS filesystem (basically anything from Windows 2000 on) will be backed up as Win32 NTFS streams, which are NOT portable to other operating systems or to pre-NTFS Windows clients. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: 603.293.8485 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
