Backup: directory permissions
« on: May 29, 2021, 01:33:12 AM »
So I don't want to backup the whole home directory, just separate files. The problem is those files sit in subdirectories and when I reboot all those subdirs are recreated but owned by root. File permissions get restored properly, directories don't

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
