I agree with Carl, if you did your backup on a file by file basis that you have lost all of the file attributes. I always create a tar file of the filesystem and then backup the tar file to DVD, that way you don't lose the attributes.
Wait. You can keep all Linux filesystem attributes on a cdrom, if you use the appropriate options.
You need to activate the Rock Ridge extensions, not Joliet (or both).
Ah, of course ... thanks for reminding us, Carlos. It's been several years since I last did any serious backups to CD/DVD so I guess I'd forgotten. That being said, I seem to recall also compressing first to reduce the number of disks I was burning and this, coincidentally, also served to preserve the attributes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
