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 save d and restored in this case, and not
the actual files and directories. All that is required here is to bac k up the physical entries in
the ACL database. For the restore procedure, the files and directories must be a lready
created in the UNIX file system.
The definitions below should provide clarification of the terms use d 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 fil es
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.
