If you mean that you migrate data from one samba server to another *non*
samba machine it depends how your newly machine is/will be configured.
Is the samba domain ADS based ? have you used the idmap_rid feature ? (a
*must* when having multiple linux/unix machines using winbind in a AD
domain to have a consistent id/sid mapping accross all the samba
machines instead of the 'first come, first serve' id from from idmap pool) .
If not, don't forget that even if you configure winbind/samba the same
way it was on the old machine, the uid/gid map will never be the same
(except when using idmap_rid directly)
So my advice is just to backup the permissions on the old machine (with
getfacl) , rsync the data, join the new machine to the domain, and
restores permissions back (with setfacl --restore)
