[Samba] Backing up a ADDC member server

I have a functional pair of computers, one running a DC and the other
running as a member server providing storage for the W7 clients. Within
the member server, many directories have modified ACL settings to share
among W7 client/ADDC users. I would like to backup the member server and
protect the ACL and extend attr file permissions. Rsync will do this
with "-A" and "-X" options engaged. (With Rsync, it is my understanding
that these options are not engaged or turned on by default.) 

Backuppc, the backup program of my choice, uses rsync as one of it's
programs to backup and restore files. I am in the process of learning
how and trying to engage the "-A" and "-X" options and finding it is not
as simple as adding them to the command string. (Backuppc uses something
written in Perl called Files::Rsync, I think.) 

I'm thinking that the simplest would be to use rsync directly but would
prefer using it within Backuppc (again, the backup program of my
choice.) I was wondering if anyone else has any experience in backing up
a member server with ACL and attr file permissions supported? And how do
they (you) do that?
