Linux to Windows file permissions

Post Linux to Windows file permissions 
Hi everyone,

I'm doing my first backup using rdiff-backup from Linux (CentOS5) to Windows Server 2003 (Pull from Windows). I was wondering, are the Linux file permissions backupped too? And what happens if I push the files back, are these permissions automatically restored?

Yes, I'll be testing it on my own too (to be sure), but I'd like to know it already before I setup a test machine for restoring.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Jarno Veuger

All of the metadata (permissions, ownership, security context, ACLs, ...)
is stored in separate files, so it's not dependent on having those features
in the file system that holds the backup. Using a "foreign" file system
does mean that you can't use the quick "just copy the file from the mirror"
method of restoring the most recent version, but if you use rdiff-backup
to do the restore everything should come back just the way it was.

Yes I see it indeed stores the metadata properly. Thanks.

What's the proper way to restore data (and restore permissions etc. too)?
I use these locations to backup: root < at > domain.tld::/home ([email]root < at > domain.tld::/home[/email]) d:backupssrv_testhome

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Jarno
