This means that if you restore a file "by hand" with cp, you don't restore the metadata. But if you need it, you can restore it with sync2cd (which incidentally will tell you on which medium the file is stored, in the case of multi-CD backups) and the metadata is restored. > There's a choice to be made, use an archive for 100% > backups, or store files individually for simple copying, you can't have > both.

That's why I have written sync2cd in the first place :-) -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
