I found my mistake:
Parameter for backup should be:
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system
and for restore it should be:
--super
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --relative --ignore-times --recursive

All the famous defaults from backuppc but additional --super.
