I am not subscribed to the devel list, so if someone would forward this I would 
appreciate it.  The website says to submit it to both the users and devel 
lists.  Thanks.


Item 1:   Restore proper ownership and permissions to created directories
Origin: Mark Nienberg
Date:   26 January 2010

What:   Currently the only way to get bacula to restore directory ownership and 
permissions is to select a directory (not a file) to be restored and to use 
Replace=Always.  Using Replace=Never or selecting a file (not a directory) to 
restore 
results in incorrect ownership and permission on any directories that bacula 
has to 
create above the level of the restored object.

Why:    It is confusing to find the file system in a different state after a 
restore. 
  Users generally expect the directories to match the backed-up state.

Notes:  The bug report http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1444 is not entirely 
correct.  Additional testing shows that results are different when files are 
marked 
for restore as opposed to directories.  The bug report indicated that the 
behavior 
was specific to Replace=Never, but in fact the same thing happens with 
Replace=Always 
when a file is restored.
