I thought of this when I wrote the original code! BackupClientFileAttributes writes an AttributeType as the first element. Currently only ATTRIBUTETYPE_GENERIC_UNIX is defined, but the intention was to extend it with other attribute types as required. So what you might do is define ATTRIBUTETYPE_WINDOWS, and store Windows attributes. If you restore on the wrong platform, ignore the attributes you don't understand. Windows ACLs will be amusingly complicated by SIDs since account SIDs will depends on the computer/domain's SID. If you restore to a fresh install, the ACLs won't make sense without mapping.

I know about that, but that's exactly what I meant by "not backwards-compatible" :) > Windows ACLs will be amusingly complicated by SIDs since account SIDs > will depends on the computer/domain's SID.

Unless the names are the same (and we map names instead of SIDs) or the computer being restored to has already been joined to the domain (but that only applies to domain account SIDs :) Cheers, Chris. -- _____ __ _ \ __/ / ,__(_)_ | Chris Wilson <0000 at qwirx.com> - Cambs UK | / (_/ ,\/ _/ /_ \ | Security/C/C++/Java/Ruby/Perl/SQL Developer | \__/_/_/_//_/___/ | We are GNU : free your mind & your software | From boxbackup-dev at boxbackup.org Sat Aug 15 12:00:01 2009 From: boxbackup-dev at boxbackup.org (boxbackup-dev at boxbackup.org) Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:00:01 +0100 (BST) Subject: [Box Backup-dev] Current open tickets Message-ID: <20090815110001.5DB3032508F@www.boxbackup.org> Note: to view an indiviual ticket, use: https://www.boxbackup.org/trac/ticket/(number) The following is a listing of current problems submitted by Box Backup users.
