Is there a way to 'recover' folder permissions besides doing a restore?

If you use Backup Exec, you can restore the folder structure complete with permissions without restoring the files. I'm not sure if this can be achieved using NTBackup.

Need more info here - what folder permissions do you need to recover and how did you lose them. Also if this has been fixed - what did you do?

Luckily the folders belonged to a small department and we were able to figure out who had access to what folders. What started all this was the manager of the department needed access immediately to the Finance folder(all his staff was on vacation) - IS gave him full control and it overwrote the rest of the user permissions.
