Restoring the files that possess ACLs

By default, the NetBackup-modified GNU tar (/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/tar) restores ACLs along with file and directory data.

However, in some situations the ACLs cannot be restored to the file data, as follows:

Where the restore is cross-platform. (Examples: An AIX ACL restored to a Solaris client or a Windows ACL restored to an HP client.)
When a tar other than the NetBackup modified tar is used to restore files.

In these instances, NetBackup stores the ACL information in a series of generated files in the root directory using the following naming form:

.SeCuRiTy.nnnn

These files can be deleted or can be read and the ACLs regenerated by hand.

More information is available in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for Windows, Volume II.
