3.1 kernel included the backupuid and backupgid mount options. The
3.4 kernel included a fix for this so that readdir ("ls" command)
passes the backup intent flag. Version 12.04 of Ubuntu includes at
least a 3.2 kernel and would be fine for some backup applications, but
if you are running the previous version it does appear that there are
various apt-get repositories which contain newer kernels.
