[Samba] Re: Just a quick suggestion for backup solution, plea se???

[rruegner]

Hi, as far i know tar supports acls

p Restore the named files to their original modes, and ACLs if 
applicable, ignoring the present umask. This is the default behavior if 
invoked as super-user with the x function letter specified. If 
super-user, SETUID and sticky information are also extracted, and files 
are restored with their original owners and permissions, rather than 
owned by root. When this function modifier is used with the c function, 
ACLs are created in the tarfile along with other information. Errors 
will occur when a tarfile with ACLs is extracted by
previous versions of tar .

Regards
