With respect, tar variants are not a direct replacement for dump variants. I suspect that when you said "workable substitute" it should be read as "substitute requiring a fair amount of work" ;-) I like tar variants, and I'm sure that star is among the best of them. Tar isn't always the tool I reach for, though. I want to speak up and say that I also would like to see dump/restore support ACLs. -T -- If I meet a hundred-year-old man and I have something to teach him, I will teach; if I meet an eight-year-old boy and he has something to teach me, I will learn.
