For those that may not about it:  CACLS.  http://www.techrepublic.com/article/use-caclsexe-to-view-and-manage-windows-acls/1050976

You can use this in a pre-dump command to record the ACL's of all of your files, and potentially use it to restore the proper ACL's in the event of a restore.  It's not the cleanest system I've ever seen... but it's better than nothing, if ACL's are important to you.
