No backups of the EAs/extra forks/streams/whatever, no. Which was the point made several times about EAs already - the fact they could be 'lost' by unmodified utilities. (Likewise, I made the point that modified versions of the utilities would be likely to appear some considerable time before any applications started really utilising the features).
This is no different from..
C:\> echo foo > foo.txt C:\> echo bar > foo.txt:bar
:
$ cd /mnt/nt4 $ tar cvf foo.tar foo.txt $ cd temp $ tar xvf ../foo.tar
:
C:\> cd temp C:\temp> type foo.txt foo C:\temp> type foo.txt:bar
[ snipped - I'm not sure whether NT whinges about the file not existing, or some different kind of message, or whatever - I don't have an NT system to hand, so I couldn't say ;) Either way, the point is the same ]
