I thought of this when I wrote the original code!  
BackupClientFileAttributes writes an AttributeType as the first  
element. Currently only ATTRIBUTETYPE_GENERIC_UNIX is defined, but the  
intention was to extend it with other attribute types as required.

So what you might do is define ATTRIBUTETYPE_WINDOWS, and store  
Windows attributes. If you restore on the wrong platform, ignore the  
attributes you don't understand.

Windows ACLs will be amusingly complicated by SIDs since account SIDs  
will depends on the computer/domain's SID. If you restore to a fresh  
install, the ACLs won't make sense without mapping.

I know about that, but that's exactly what I meant by "not 
backwards-compatible" :)

Unless the names are the same (and we map names instead of SIDs) or the 
computer being restored to has already been joined to the domain (but that 
only applies to domain account SIDs :)

Cheers, Chris.
