Jeff,
The tar XferMethod doesn't capture acls and xattrs during backup.
Direct Restore in the CGI interface uses the XferMethod setting.

I also assume that tar doesn't capture ACLs and XATTRs for backup
either then
What transfer mechanism does the CGI restore use?
Because when I use the direct download mode, it also doesn't restore
the ACLs and XATTRs.
In any case, I guess I really need to figure out how to use rsync for restore..
Jeff,
Unfortunately BackupPC_tarCreate doesn't support acls. Over the years
different flavors of tar supported different archive formats for certain
extensions (eg, long file names etc). The POSIX standard for PAX headers
unified some of the those disparate formats, but didn't define acl or xatt

I'd recommend using BackupPC_ls -R to recursively list all the files in a
particular backup. You'd need to run it only each of your hosts on the
latest backup.

The cpool isn't structured in a way that makes it possible to just copy
recently backed-up files.
Ged's suggestion (just run another BackupPC instance offsite) is
worth considering. That also provides more robustness to certain failures

Jeff,
Sure, that's possible. But given that it was necessary to use a file to
pass along the list of files to restore, it seemed easier to just use that
one mechanism.
It would be pretty easy to write a wrapper script that takes command-line
arguments and writes the request file and passes it al
