patch" with star.
And it is preferred to backup XFS with xfsdump.
If you don't use a filesystem that understands ACLs, then Samba maintains
all the ACL info in a common file.
You as the administrator are responsible for creating a backup mechanism that
captures the Samba ACL info.
That is easy if you are happy with doing a full share backup/restore, but if you
want to be able to do individual file saves/restores, then you have to have some
way of saving/restoring the ACL data on a file by file basis.
=3D=3D=3D Backing up a Samba client
This was the original need, but from what I understand smbmount does not handle
ACLs, so there is no way to get the remote ACL info. and back it up.
