psync which I find useful at times has a facility for writing down permissions to a file for later restoration. I've found this very handy in cases where I am copying across files systems to remotely mounted disks. On the remote machine, my user ID may not exist or the group may not exist or rott may be squashed.
psync simply notes the permissions in a file which you can keep around until you restore the files in the proper file system.

Note that Carbon Copy Cloner uses psync.
