Yes, I've pointed out on official Red Hat mailing lists that 2 is false due (at least) to the issue of backing up ACLs (use star they say -- no thanks,
Well, Red Hat has shipped Jorg's "star" in RHL8 on-ward to address this.
According to the version number on RHEL4's version of star (yes, I know you can't always go by that) and the datestamps at ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/alpha/, RHEL4's star is from 9/13/2003(!!). The main patching I see in the .spec file is selinux related (as one would expect). Thus, according to the revision history at the ftp site above, RHEL4's star has rudimentary incremental backup support and *no* incremental restore support. Not exactly enterprise software, IMHO.
