I am wiping out my harddisk and just copying the files as a backup using K3B. Will it work if I keep the permissions the same.
First copy the files and then wipe your hard disk :)
Copying the files with k3b will disable the "write" flag.
To keep the original file perms do a tar back up to a file and then write that file to a CD. To restore extract the files from the tar file.
