need to backup/ restore ACL permissions

Use robocopy.exe and the /copy:datsou (or whatever attributes you want to copy). robocopy is a pretty powerful tool, check robocopy.doc in the install folder for details.

This is an extract from msdn:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
   WIN32_FIND_DATA FileData;
   HANDLE hSearch;
   DWORD dwAttrs;  
   TCHAR szDirPath[] = TEXT("c:\\TextRO\\");
   TCHAR szNewPath[MAX_PATH];  
 
   BOOL fFinished = FALSE;
 
// Create a new directory.
 
   if (!CreateDirectory(szDirPath, NULL))
   {
      printf("Could not create new directory.\n");
      return;
   }
 
// Start searching for text files in the current directory.
 
   hSearch = FindFirstFile(TEXT("*.txt"), &FileData);
   if (hSearch == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
   {
      printf("No text files found.\n");
      return;
   }
 
// Copy each .TXT file to the new directory
// and change it to read only, if not already.
 
   while (!fFinished)
   {
      lstrcpy(szNewPath, szDirPath);
      lstrcat(szNewPath, FileData.cFileName);
      if (CopyFile(FileData.cFileName, szNewPath, FALSE))
      {
         dwAttrs = GetFileAttributes(FileData.cFileName);
         if( GetLastError() != 0 ) return;

         if (!(dwAttrs & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY))
         {
            SetFileAttributes(szNewPath,
                dwAttrs | FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY);
         }
      }
      else
      {
         printf("Could not copy file.\n");
         return;
      }
 
      if (!FindNextFile(hSearch, &FileData))
      {
         if (GetLastError() == ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES)
         {
            printf("Copied all text files.\n");
            fFinished = TRUE;
         }
         else
         {
            printf("Could not find next file.\n");
            return;
         }
      }
   }
 
// Close the search handle.
 
   FindClose(hSearch);
}
Hope it helps:

I found answer my self. I used GetFileSecurity() and SetFileSecurity() for this.

Thanks
