Phenomenal number of ACLs, itty-bitty living space

I recently had a need to backup file and folder ACLs for a client that would then need to restore them to their original objects following a hardware upgrade that would wipe them out. Easy enough, but the catch was that there was 1.5 million of them. Fortunately, getting ACLs in PowerShell is easy.

`PS > Get-Acl -Path somefile.txt Directory: C:
Path Owner Access

somefile.txt BUILTIN\Administrators BUILTIN\Administrators Allow… `See?

Now, if you needed multiple ACLs, say, all 1.5 million of them on a file share, you could use Get-ChildItem to feed files and folders to Get-Acl. But then what? Export-Clixml is a generally great way to convert a PowerShell object to XML and save it to file.
