We have a rebuild process for remote sites that allows us to PXE rebuild a till (actually a PC with a touch screen and various fancy bits) running CentOS. The current CentOS5 tills work just fine with a tar image restore and some personalisation. Sadly, CentOS7 introduces file capabilities on some critical stuff, such as ping so on the original source till, getcap /usr/bin/ping gives us this:-
After a tar and restore, these are lost, so ordinary users cannot use ping, which is a shame because the the till believes it cannot post the sales information to the central servers. The actual till software is proprietary, so we can't get into that to change it.
Does anyone know how to take a file and all it's file capabilities so that it can be restored?
An alternate would be to use yum or rpm to either list before or re-apply the required capabilities after the recovery, but I can't find a way to do that either of these. At worst, I might have to use getcap in a massive loop to collect them all then apply them manually after recovery, but I'd rather use the appropriate tools to do it properly.
help please

Is it possible to restore a TAR'ed file off of a tape to a location other than the original location? If so, how?
(The MAN pages give examples of how to restore only to the originating location.)
