Concerning native Solaris tools:
Solaris tar takes a 'p' flag that stores ACL information, and
re-creates same when extracted. I've not made much use of it yet,
but it apparently works on UFS and ZFS (although there are obvious
difficulties restoring ZFS ACLs to UFS, etc.)
Gtar on Linux extracts the resulting tar file, but doesn't know
what to do with the ACL entries.
Current versions of Amanda support a 'suntar' backup type. Haven't
explored that yet, but Amanda might be useful.
