Restoring extended file attributes
----------------------------------
By default, user namespaced extended attributes for files are restored on Linux,
and all extended attributes are restored for other operating systems.
Use ``--exclude-xattr`` and ``--include-xattr`` to control which extended
attributes are restored for files in the snapshot. For example, to restore
user and security namespaced extended attributes for files:
.. code-block:: console
$ restic -r /srv/restic-repo restore 79766175 --target /tmp/restore-work --include-xattr user.* --include-xattr security.*
