Title
Spotlight/Comment metadata in MacOS filesystem backups -
Description
Date: 06/06
Affected Version: 7.31
OS Version: MacOS
Plugin version: n/a
Application version: n/a
Description:
Finder comments (nowadays called “Spotlight comments") are arbitrary comments that can be affiliated with a file using the “Get Info" window of the Finder. However, these comments are not really stored together with the corresponding file and, therefore, are not being backed up.
Symptoms: these are stored in an invisible file called ".DS_Store" in the file's parent directory
