I have discovered that if I select ONLY the "--xattr" the log file says the following:

If select ONLY "--acls" the log file says:

If I do not backup "--acls" and "--xattr" BackupPC 4.0 works perfectly.

I posted this to the user mailing list three (3) weeks ago.

Thought I would followup as I never received an answer or suggestion.

. . . anybody backing up ACL's and xattr file permissions with BPC4.0?

To add some info that may or may not help . . .

The Samba4 fileserver uses 'ext4' file structure. (If that matters.)

The "other linux clients" do not backup 'acls' or 'xattr' attributes.

And I found a bug report (3828) at https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3828 from 2006 referencing rsync version 2.6.8 and how "That warning means that rsync was patched with ACL support but not configured with it enabled. You'll need to contact whomever packaged it, since they're the only ones that can change the package . . ."

Realizing that this bug (3828) conversation is talking about "rpm" packaged rsync-2.6.8 that was not "enabled during configuration" and the errors are very, very similar to that I am receiving. I wondered if there was any connection.

I cannot find any further info on rsync_bpc . . . of course it is unique to BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3

Anyone else backing up "ACLS" and "xattr" attributes without issues like I am having?

I have a functional BackupPC 4.0.0alpha3 running on CentOS 7.

I have one client that is my Samba4 fileserver running Debian 7.8.0 with (Sernet)Samba 4.2.3 that is handling ACL and xattr file attributes of my W7 clients. So, acl and xattr are setup on that machine.

I am currently backup (with BPC4) other linux clients without issue.

I have set "RsyncArgsExtra" for "--acls" and "--xattrs" as instructed by the wiki. (At least, I think I am interrupting that correctly.)

When I do a "fullbackup" (the first attempt) I get the following in the log file:

(The 'xxx.xxx' has replaced my actual ip address.)

If the client is storing files that include acl and xattr file permissions why am I getting that ". . . ACLs are not supported on this client . . ."?
