    anyone know how to restore just the permissions from a backup file. I do nightly backups but only need to recover the permissions not the actual files.

    I can resore everything using the restore command but would prefer just to reset the permissions ..

    just did a sudo -R 777 /* instead of a sudo -R 777 /raid/MP3

    I ended up doing a full restore from the dump (after saving a few files that had been modified since the last dump


    Beer and sudo don't mix ;-)

    I also learned about the getacl and setacl commands. getacl can be use to back up attributes which can then be restored with setacl
