Another option here is to use the
accget
and
accadm
programs, which can be used in
conjunction with UNIX mechanisms, for example for restoring access permissions following
a system crash. Only the access permissions are saved and restored in this case, and not
the actual files and directories. All that is required here is to back up the physical entries in
the ACL database. For the restore procedure, the files and directories must be already
created in the UNIX file system.
The definitions below should provide clarification of the terms used in the next section in
conjunction with the
accget
and
accadm
tools:
Resource:
UNIX directory or UNIX file
Resource_name:
UNIX path name of a directory or file
Mountpoint:
UNIX path name under which a UNIX file system is mounted
Permission record:
Entry for a resource with its access permissions in the backup files
Backup file:
Backup file name
7.3.2
Saving access permissions for resources (accget)
This tool is used to create a backup file called
/var/opt/lanman/etc/accadm.dat
or
/tmp/accget.dat
of the ACL database, which contains the following information (
permission
records
):
●
Shared resources (SHARES)
●
Access permissions for resources
●
Mountpoints for resources
The
accadm.dat
(or
accget.dat
) file is the input for the backup functions of the
accadm
command.
