How can you say this *and* say that restore isn't fs-specific (prior
msg)? What if I archive an ext2 system with ACL and restore to XFS with
totally different ACL structures? Or what if I restore sensitive data,
unwittingly, to a filesystem that doesn't support ACL's at all and the
file is readable by the wrong people?
