Hi,

are there any plans that BackupPC supports in the near future "ACLs"  
and "extended attributes"?

I use a lot the ACLs  - and for example SELinux is using extended  
attributes to store the security context - of the EXT3 or XFS  
filesystem and with the rsync-option "--acls and --xattrs" it's not a  
problem to preserve ACLs and extended attributes via rsync but as far  
as I can see when I use BackupPC these attributes are lost, is this  
correct?

Btw. tar has also the option "--acls", "--xattrs" and "--selinux" so  
it would also be possible for tar to preserve the attributes.

Regards,

   GM
