NOTE, if you want to save by UID/GID, change %u:%g to %U:%G.

Also, there is a way to save/apply ACLs as well (using getfacl/setfacl).
I've been using a variant of this script to save all ACLs into a script
when backing up, just in case the backup approach doesn't save them
(e.g., I typically limit my use of ACLs to XFS, because xfsdump
preserves them, but just in case I use something that cant').
