Well, I have 2 guesses:
1.) Your backup was stored on a CDR, which is by default Read-only. So
all Windows did was copy the access rights of the file together with
the file. (Which is BTW the default *and correct* behaviour when
copying a file from a CD-ROM drive.)
2.) You copied the files from network share. As you speak of a backup,
I don't think that this was the case, but IIRC that was how a member
of TBUDL got that same problem you just experienced.
