Backup ACL | Backs up the Access Control List (file permissions) |
Backup POSIX ACL (Linux DS-Client) | This only applies to backups of the Local File System. Select this box to backup the “Extended ACL” (if configured). • These are the permissions set using the ‘setfacl’ command (and viewed using the ‘getfacl’ command). |
Backup SElinux (Linux DS-Client) | Backs up the Security Enhanced Linux attribute of files or folders. • Local File System and SSH backup sets only. • For SSH backup sets with Perl (default), the target Linux machine must have the “Linux-UserXAttr” package installed for this option to appear. • For SSH backup sets with Python, the target Linux machine must have the “pyxattr” package installed for this option to appear. Note: How to install xattr with python: • Download python xattr from their website (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xattr). • After extracting the downloaded package, open a terminal and run the command: “python setup.py install” • After the installation finishes, you can use SSH to backup the selinux attribute with python. |
Backup Resource (Macintosh DS-Client) | Backs up the Resource Fork of a file on the Mac platform. |
Backup File Attributes (Macintosh DS-Client) | Backs up the File Attributes for files on the Mac platform. |
