[lbackup-discussion] LBackup Question

[henri]

Hi Jamie,

If you have not already ensure the following modification to your configuration file has been made : 

# Disable ACL preservation, only availible on darwin with custom rsync (YES/NO)
disable_acl_preservation="NO" # (If enabled ACL's will not be preserved in the backup)

to 

# Disable ACL preservation, only availible on darwin with custom rsync (YES/NO)
disable_acl_preservation="YES" # (If enabled ACL's will not be preserved in the backup)

Making this change will mean that ALC's will not be preserved in the backup.

Once you have made this change then let me know if the backup completes successfully. If you have already made this change then please let me know.

Henri
