Re: [Bacula-users] directory dates after a restore.

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello,

Yes, that is the currently programmed behavior -- if you are referring 
to the access date. If I am not mistaken, I reset the dates when the
directory is created.  However, as the Bacula restore proceeds, the
date is modified. This is also the case during the save -- though it
is probably a different date that is updated.

It is theoretically possible to restore
these dates, but it means keeping an in memory list of all directories
accessed, then after ALL files are restored, one would have to revisit
all the directories and put back their unmodified dates.  

At least at the current time, I haven't felt this was really necessary.
If nothing other than it is a pile of code, may require buffering to
disk in case of insufficient RAM, and would take additional time.

If you see some urgent need to restore the dates, I'm willing to
consider it.

Thanks for testing Bacula -- I'm always pleased to see more people 
looking at it and testing it -- to the limits. :-)

Best regards,

Kern
