Use Allrights to backup and restore file permissions suid sgid sticky bits owners and groups

This Perl script allows you to save and restore file permissions, owners and groups of a whole directory tree independent from the files themselves. It also saves suid bit, sgid bit, sticky bit, hidden folders and hidden files. Allrights can handle file and folder names with unusual characters. Just run it at the command prompt and it will create two shell scripts. One to restore your file permissions and the other one to restore your owners and groups.

Download 1.02 Allrights.tgz

-uncompress it with "tar xfvz Allrights.tgz"
-make it executable with "chmod 0700 Allrights.pl"
-run the script with "./Allrights.pl yourfolder" or type "./Allrights.pl ?" for more info
