Can xcp keep linux file uid/gid?

Not currently, but it could be added. Presumably you mean when running as root? Usually it is not possible to copy UID/GID from a different user unless you are running as root (or have and equivalent capability/acl).

I just want to backup files with user permission and extra ACL attr.
