Unless things have changed recently, restore doesn't even restore user/ group ownership, let alone permissions. IOW, atime/mtime are the least of the problem (particularly if people are running noatime as is recommended, unless you really need it for some reason). It simply creates the files it restores as the owner/group it is run as (normally root), using standard umask rules, I believe. So if you're going to have it start restoring metadata at all, might as well have it do ownership/perms too, if it can. Otherwise atime/mtime are hardly worth bothering with. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
