You could use MSBACKUP to back up and it will save permissions etc..
The last "near-major disaster" that I had involved using a free, but not Free windows tool, under windows, to back up a client's data. It was only after repartitioning the drive that I noticed the archive it had taken several hours to generate looked 'kinda small', fortunately I hadn't done anything else yet and I was able to recover the filesystem. I immediately booted knoppix and backed it up properly. Yes, I should have checked the backups first. But when I run a 'tar' and it takes two hours, I can trust that it's actually putting all the files into the archive.
