Long title, huh?

I know I could dig into the docs but you guys are usually faster.  

Right now I backup our one Netapp CIFS as a unix NFS mount.  I miss all
the ACL's but that's not a big problem with this share since it's pretty
much all owned by the same group.  Discussion in a meeting today may
lead to a lot more CIFS shares but they're very much cross-owned and the
Windows ACLs are about to become important.

I could build a windows media server and backup the shares that way -
all the nice ACL's come along for the ride.  However, I've gone years
now without becoming a windows admin and I like it that way.  I'd rather
look at NDMP direct to tape (SSO share) of the volume containing the
share.

Do any of you know if the NDMP backup will grab all the ACL information
so the winders users stay happy?
