Copy additional file attributes #17

It would be nice if you could specify to copy additional attributes, like robocopy:

  /COPY:copyflag[s] :: what to COPY (default is /COPY:DAT).
                       (copyflags : D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps).
                       (S=Security=NTFS ACLs, O=Owner info, U=aUditing info).

Agreed. It should also traverse as if it were in the backup group to ensure it gets every folder correctly.. otherwise hobocopy is only good for copying music and pictures.

I have a lead on what I may have been doing wrong with respect to traversal (see https://github.com/candera/hobocopy/issues/24#issuecomment-1039983). Hopefully I can make some progress on that over the next month or two.
