ACL = Access Control List
With NTFS you can set detailed access control information, such as
"readable for user x, writeable for group y, read and writeable for
users a, b and c, executable for everyone but not for user x" and so on.
With samba you can not save these ACLs - restored files only get
default rights.
For more information about ACLs, please ask e.g. google.
