Backup of ACLs

Veeam Agent for IBM AIX supports backup and restore of NFSv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs).

Considerations and Limitations

• Veeam Agent backs up all supported ACLs automatically.
• Veeam Agent does not support backup of AIXC ACLs.
• You can restore supported ACLs during bare metal recovery or file-level restore. Consider the following about restoring ACLs:
  • During bare metal recovery, Veeam Agent automatically restores all supported ACLs.
  • During file-level restore, you can restore only NFSv4 ACLs.
  • Restoring NFSv4 ACLs requires NFSv4 to be configured on the Veeam Agent machine. For information on enabling NFSv4 in IBM AIX, see this Veeam KB article.
  • If you perform file-level restore in the recovery environment, the backup is mounted using the NFSv3 protocol. As a result, restoring ACLs from such backup mount will not be possible.
