star (http://freshmeat.net/projects/star/) supports ACLs and extended attributes (on Linux). You will need to install python acl and extended attribute libraries to use it. Use star 1.5 to avoid backup/restore problems. To write wrapper scripts, please see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Backup_client#pre_and_post-_backup_scripts_wrappers If you write a gnutar wrapper script, please contrinute it to Amanda.
