Other folks have already said use xfsdump/xfsrestore if you want your
ACLs backed up, and that Amanda does support them. I am not actually
sure if any of the other backup products which run on xfs have the
ability to back them up. And if they do, SGI has little influence with
folks like Legato when it comes to getting features into their
products!
