Hi,

just a few queries about xfsdump.

1. does it back up ACL's, or will I need to back them up separately?

2. does it support incremental backups to a file on disk? ie:

xfsdump -l 0 -f /mnt/backup/var_dump /var
xfsudmp -l 1 -f /mnt/backup/var_dump /var

This fails, with:
xfsdump: ERROR: media contains valid xfsdump but does not support append

Obviously, /mnt/backup is a local hard disk. Is there anyway to get
around this, or should I look to the tar command for my needs?

rgds,
Ian.
