[Michael E Osborne]

AIX (at least 4.1.4+) does have ACL's.

The app.  Sorry.  Should have been more clear.  Since I had misunderstood
you, and was thinking of backup NT from unix, I was making the comment,
that all the UNIX backup solutions I know of do not understand NTFS
streams.  That's all.  Which means that if you use a non-stream aware
backup solution for backing up an EFS file system, you will not be able to
restore it.

I thought AIX had ACL's.  Hmm....Thanks for the update.
