Just a note on this point.  Don't know about other systems, but Netapp
says that CIFS backups do properly save UNIX security info.  It's saved
in a SMB structure.

NFS cannot carry the NTFS ACLS though.  So conceivably you can do all
CIFS backups and get all security structures.  (I do NDMP and have
mainly UNIX servers, so it's not something I've tried to test).
