Check your acl package to see if it supports recursive fetch/restore. If it does, just before dump time, do a recursive getfacl , redirected to a file. After a tar restore, you can use your listed acls file to restore the acls.
I currently don't use this method ( on RH7.3) , but I'm headed that way. -- toby bluhm philips medical systems, it support, mr development, cleveland ohio [EMAIL PROTECTED] 440-483-5323 Adam Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/09/2003 06:55 PM Please respond to adam.smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Tobias Bluhm/CLE/MS/PHILIPS) Subject: ACLs Classification: On FreeBSD 5.0 with UFS2 + ACLs, what is my best method for backing up my ACLs along with my files? I am only experimenting with Amanda at this point, but it seems to use the native tar utility, however tar does not support the backing up of ACLs. Can anyone show me what I need to do?
