Any recommendations on how to maintain the attribs (user/group/perms/dates...) of files when they are burned to a cd/cdrw/dvdram, or copied to another partition, and later need to be restored to their original form?
comments on how to handle links?
Tar's default behavior handles archiving permissions and symlinks in their exact state as it should, by default. I recommend looking at the help text for --derefference and --check-links on the third page of 'info tar'. Use "/" to activate the search function in the info browser.
