The usual approach to that kind of situation is to archive the files you want to put on the NAS, using an archive tool that knows about Linux attributes. e.g. tar, tar.gz You save the archive file to the NAS, attributes don't matter with the archive file, itself. Then on restoration, you fetch the archive file and unpack it (or browse the contents), and the files inside the archive still have the attributes you want. I'm not sure what special attributes you're concerned about, though. If you're backing up personal data files, they don't tend to have *special* attributes. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
