Supported Metadata

CrashPlan PRO supports metadata on all platforms.

Mac

Supported

  • Data fork
  • Resource fork
  • Owner information for regular files and directories
  • Symlink owner information
  • POSIX permissions
  • Finder Flags/Info (including type/creator)
  • Locked flag (this is part of Finder Flags)
  • Modification date
  • Creation date
  • Finder comments (.DS_Store file)
  • ACLs

Unsupported

  • Other named forks
  • BSD Flags, which can be set via chflags
  • HFS+ extended attributes (i.e. xattr)
  • Aliases

Notes

When copying a file (and therefore restoring) to a non-HFS+ file system, any info not in the data file is stored in a “dot-underscore” file.
For example, if you copy an HFS+ file named MyMug.jpg to a FAT 32 volume, there will be a file named ._MyMug.jpg in addition to the MyMug.jpg file in the same location.
