Nicola,
Unfortunately acls aren't supported by rsync_bpc if the BackupPC server
doesn't support them (this can be fixed, since local acls aren't actually
used to store the acls, but it will take some effort).
I just discovered on my Ubuntu 16.04 server, rsync_bpc (and also rsync)
don't detect that acls are supported when you build them from source, which
is wrong. I found out that you have to install a dev acl library first:
sudo apt install libacl1-dev
If you then re-configure and re-build rsync_bpc, using the --acls option
should now work.
You can check whether acl support is enabled with: rsync_bpc --version.
Example:
shell$ ./rsync_bpc --version
rsync_bpc version 3.0.9.6 protocol version 30

Capabilities:
64-bit files, 64-bit inums, 64-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints,
socketpairs, hardlinks, symlinks, IPv6, batchfiles, inplace,
append, ACLs, xattrs, iconv, symtimes
You'll see "no ACLs" instead of "ACLs" (highlighted in yellow) if there is
no support.
So, note to rsync_bpc package builders - please make sure you build the
code with the right acl libraries.
