Backing up ACLs on FreeBSD 10

[Toomas Aas]

Hello!

This first FreeBSD 10 server is also my first encounter with  
filesystem ACLs. As thousands of Amanda users before me, I discovered  
that GNU tar doesn't back up ACLs and star is often recommended as an  
alternative which does. Only thing is, the star port doesn't want to  
build on FreeBSD 10 amd64. Or more precisely, smake, which is required  
to build star, does not build. Seems like it's been this way for quite  
a while and nobody has fixed the situation.

Before I spend too much time trying to fix it myself, I'd like to find  
out if there is perhaps an alternative solution that I'm missing. So,  
if anyone has a success story about backing up filesystem ACLs on  
FreeBSD 10 amd64 (with Amanda, of course), I'm all ears :)
