[flexbackup-help] Directory ownership not saved

[Rohan C. <se...@ro...>]

I've found that flexbackup does not correctly preserve 
the UID/GID of directories, despite the use of "tar --
same-owner". This seems to be due to the interaction 
between "find" and "tar".

The problem can be fixed by dropping the "-depth" 
argument to find, so that the directories appear in the 
file list ahead of the contents of the directories.

I was able to fix the problem by commenting out the 
following line in the file_list_cmd() subroutine:

$cmd .= "-depth ";

I use flexbackup v1.2.1, GNU find 4.1.7 and GNU tar 
1.13.25.


P.S. I submitted this sometime ago on flexbackup's "bugs" section on
Sourceforge but I'm not sure that anyone uses that.
