Sometimes when troubleshooting, I want to find all files with a
certain attribute. So you can use a modified version of this (very
inefficient) bash/perl one liner to do it. (of course it would have
been much more efficient to write a separate perl script but I like
one-liner challenges sometimes)...

The following example prints out the 'type' of each file in the
backup:

find /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/machine/backnumber -name "attrib" | ( while IFS= read 
-r FILE ; do sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_attribPrint 
"$FILE" | head -n -2 | perl -s -ne "$/=' }';print \"\${-name}\$1 \$2\n\" if 
\/'([^']*)' => {.*'type' => ([0-9])+/s" -- --name="${FILE%attrib}" - | tail -n 
+2; done)

The output format is:
<full file path name> <type>
