Hi,

I don't think, that the HPUX-Version of pax - and even that of tar - has the ability to save ACLs.
I know, that the Solaris-Version of tar CAN do a backup of ACLS but Solaris-pax (<=SunOS5.9) CAN'T. So we have to wait for an updated POSIX-spec. of pax ... .
If you really need ACLSs restored, you will have to read ACLs of your files, store that information in a file and after backup+restore set the ACLs again using this input file.
Look in thread 941279 for details.
