File/Folder security permissions not inheritting from Source Folder

Thread needs solution
Scenario:
I am having 4 file servers to be backed up to their NAS drive and meanwhile, that should replicate to Amazon S3.
 
File servers have different folders and they are having a set of permissions that differ from each folder. For example 
 
User 1 -Alex                         Folder 1-finance documents
User 2-John                          Folder 2-marketing documents
User 3-Robin                         Folder 3-Advertising documents
 
Alex and John have access to the folder 1.but robin don't have an access on that folder one.
 
robin and Alex have access on folder 3 but John doesn't have access to it.
 
like this, they have the different set of permissions for the set of users on their file server folders.
But after restoring the folders everyone can access the 3 different folders.
 
While backup we enabled the NTFS permissions, to be back up with files and folders. , But when we restored and check the file permissions, It is not inheriting from the parent folder(original source).
It is inheriting from the destination folder where the backup is restored.
And it is not having any security what they have applied on the file server. anyone have access to the destination folder where the backup is restored they can have access to the files which is restored.

Hi Sineesh,

Before Update 3 of Acronis Backup 12.5 there was a problem restoring NTFS permissions for files/folders restored from disk/volume (entire machine) type of backups, however there were no known issues related to files/folders backup type (if source is a set of files/folders).

To properly analyze what's going wrong please continue working with our support team to reveal the additional details, such as: Logs, description of how the backup plan was configure + how the recovery was performed in details (step-by-step screen shots). I have found your support ticket related to this problem in our database and we'll be checking it with our support managers to provide further guidance.

Thank you.
