Acl Noacl Specifies whether to back up the root file access control list (ACL) for a database when you back up the database. The root file ACL controls users privileges to issue Oracle RMU commands. If you specify the Acl qualifier, the root file ACL will be backed up with the database. If you specify the Noacl qualifier, the root file ACL will not be backed up with the database. The Noacl qualifier can be useful if you plan to restore the database on a system where the identifiers in the current root file ACL will not be valid. The default is the Acl qualifier.
