Good Day VOX Community,
I know that you can search for an Individual file via the Backup, Archive, and Restore GUI (Restore Files Tab). Is it possible to list the file attribute of a Linux client via NBU?
I performed a full restore to a newly installed Linux OS (this included /etc files). Prior to the restore, some of the service files are flagged as "Masked" with no error message. After the restore, the service files are "Masked” but they now send an alert message (see below). The error message does not affect the system negatively but it is questioned by the server admin when the system is checked after the recovery. It may be a bug with the OS when a file is re-copied to the /etc directory (I am still researching this).
I want to avoid this message altogether. Is it possible to list all “Masked” services and their file attributes from the Full backup prior to starting the recovery? This will allow me to exclude these files from the restore avoiding the error message.

Note, these services are still masked and inactive, but there is a warning.
