rsync includes ACL and xattr patches that you can apply if you wish; then you use -A, --acls and/or -X, --xattrs to preserve ACLs and/or xattrs during a transfer. I've been using an ACL-patched rsync to backup my system for a while now, and it correctly transfers my POSIX ACLs; I don't use xattrs. -- Matt McCutchen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mysite.verizon.net/hashproduct/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
