i need to use star instead of gnutar because i want to backup my acl's too. how could i manage this?

The current version of amanda does not support this "out of the box". Depending on how compatible star is with gnutar, you may get away with using a wrapper around tar.

The idea is to configure & compile amanda with option:
"--with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/amgtar"
and then create a script "amgtar" that on the outside emulates
a gnutar interface (just enough to fool amanda suffices), and on
the inside runs star instead of gnutar.

One of majar feature of gnutar is support for incremental backups
(using the --listed-incremental option).  Does star support something
similar?
