Right, so the primary machine that capturing the ACLs is prevalent, is our primary file server, if files aren't owned by root, they are owned by Samba Domain Users or Groups, so yes, the IDs may not exist on the system, but my goal is to have them preserved regardless for that reason.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Archive ACLs
In the past, rather than use the BackupPC archive function, I used rsync from the command line to back-up my Backuppc server to a removable USB drive on a PC on my network. Don’t know if that will work for you but, may be worth exploring.

Right, and that's what we're using right now to backup the Hosts. But now we need to make our offline and offsite backups. So the BackupPC localhost is now set to Archive xfer mode, and now I need to get ACLs to preserve throughout this process too.

I'm not sure that tarCreate or archiveHost respect ACLs.

[BackupPC-users] Archive ACLs
Hi again, So after updating to BackupPC 4.x, ACLs work for rsync (yay). Now what we're trying to do is get the ACLs working from the Archive host. It is correctly exporting the tar.gz files, but when I extract them onto my PC, the files have lost their ownership/group properties and ACLs. I attempted to modify the arguments on the client end with the extraction to no avail, so I presume it has something to do with either the BackupPC_archiveHost or BackupPC_tarCreate scripts. So ultimately 2 questions: 1. Is ACL/permission preservation supported with Archives? If so, how can I achieve this? 2. If it isn't supported, how should one go about preserving these with the archives? Appreciate any help!
