restore filesystem & compare permissions

[M.Thomas]

I need to restore a filesystem from backup (and create a new filesystem)(as customer suspects lot of permissions have changed). Once this new filesystem is created the two filesystems need to be compared and then the permissions have to be restored to the original filesystem. I can create a new filesystem and ask backup to restore to that filesystem, what would be a good way to compare permissions on these two filesystems?

Thanks

Tomas this backup referring to restore it was
carried through in another one server ?

I once did script with a find /filesysetm -exec ls -la on both system to list the files, permissions and sizes. Then, a diff between the files on both file system conviced the client.

if the difference is small it is OK. if it is huge then it is going to be difficult to fix each permission

Thanks
