At the moment, it appears that some Windows attributes (hidden, archive,
system) are not backed up correctly by Box Backup R2549:
Before backup
=============
D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\CASES\Set_5-file-attributes>attrib
A SHR D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\CASES\Set_5-file-attributes\all
D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\CASES\Set_5-file-attributes\archive
A H D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\CASES\Set_5-file-attributes\hidden
A R D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\CASES\Set_5-file-attributes\readonly
A S D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\CASES\Set_5-file-attributes\system
After restore
=============
D:\restore\Set_5-file-attributes>attrib
A R D:\restore\Set_5-file-attributes\all
A D:\restore\Set_5-file-attributes\archive
A D:\restore\Set_5-file-attributes\hidden
A R D:\restore\Set_5-file-attributes\readonly
A D:\restore\Set_5-file-attributes\system
It appears that Read-Only works, but Hidden and System do not get backed
up/restored correctly. In addition, as I wrote in my e-mail "ACL support"
from 11/04/2009 at 18:33, I wonder if it would be possible to add support
for additional information on top of the POSIX ACL (which I haven't tested
either, BTW).
Any views on this?
