#65: Some file attributes under Windows are not backed up

Comment(by achim):
I think the "Archive" attribute is definitely irrelevant: never understood
its use anyway (-:
Hidden and System are more important: they are probably set for a reason,
for instance to
1/ Reduce user confusion (after restore without hidden, many more files
might show up!)
2/ Protect the system from the user (hidden and system files by default do
not show up in explorer.exe and are therefore somewhat "saver" from being
deleted by the user)
Some example of real hidden system files:
{{{
A H C:\Documents and Settings\ajl\NTUSER.DAT
A H C:\Documents and Settings\ajl\ntuser.dat.LOG
SH C:\Documents and Settings\ajl\ntuser.ini
}}}
What about the way that Samba achieves this with mapping the attributes to
the executable bits? The chapter contains also some interesting
information about ACLs
