-m mount_point

-p file

Specifies a file name to store the security metadata. The file is saved in the /mount_point/.Security/backup/ directory.


The acfsutil sec save command saves the security metadata for an Oracle ACFS file system to an XML file. By default, the file is saved in the /mount_point/.Security/backup directory.

This file can be backed up as a regular file by a backup application. System realms protect this file and allow only members of these realms to access this file and prevent all other users including the root user and system administrator from access. For information about the system-created security realms, refer to "acfsutil sec prepare".

Only a security administrator can run this command.
