I have Apple's version of "xattr" as well as Apple's Carbon ACL
modules. In the ACL modules it specifically notes that some are
non-portable. Do you have any intention/leaning towards testing for
the OS and using the appropriate imports and methods applicable?
The cygwin NTFS to ACL mapping seems to be a bit broken as of last
checking. Quite frankly, I don't really have any need for ACLs at this
stage. The majority of restores are single files or directorys with
classic style simple permissions. I don't know anyone who uses ACLs
alot on their data shares, and indeed the only people I do know who
use them, end up tying themselves in knots with them.
Also (and you don't have to answer as I'll get back to RTFM and
studying the source) I noticed a post today about bootability. I was
thinking (hoping :-) of creating a volume clone with "asr" and using
rdiff-backup against such. This in lieu of rsync and fancy
incrementals/snapshotting. Am I in outer space again?
No I think that might work. From a windows perspective, it looks like
ASR images are like ghost images. Large binary files really.
Rdiff-backup works against those files, however don't expect great
increments sizes - sometimes with these binary formats the diffs can
be massive. The exchange bkf file from a windows server is one example
- 4GB binary file, add one email and backup again and you get %50
diff. crazy.
