Permissions are not restored

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Restore some files of a user as root
2. The files will be restored but not the permissions or the modification
times.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

FB should restore the files as they were: Same permissions, same last
modification, access, create times.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.4 on openSUSE 10.3

I confirm the issue and please find below the solution. The copy command in file
backup_backend.py should have an additional "-a" option, to ensure that the time
stamps are preserved when restoring.

# diff backup_backend.py.org backup_backend.py

<                 cmd = 'cp -vR "%s" "%s"' % (file, dest)
---
>                 cmd = 'cp -avR "%s" "%s"' % (file, dest)

<                 cmd = 'cp -v "%s" "%s"' % (file, dest)
---
>                 cmd = 'cp -av "%s" "%s"' % (file, dest)
