How to backup and restore permissions

Need to back up permissions
Permissions are incorrect because the cp command was ran without the argument -p for keep permissions

For the example below, /usr will be used as the directory to backup and restore

1. Launch a terminal session and change to the parent of the directory that needs to be backed up
2. Type getfacl -R /usr > p.acl to create a permissions file called p.acl
3. Copy the p.acl to the server where you want to restore permissions on
4. Launch a terminal session and change to the directory of the p.acl file
5. type setfacl --restore=p.acl to restore the permissions
