Do you restore the same file to the same library?  Then you should not
lose private authorities.  If you restore the file to a different
library, then you will lose private authorities.  When you restore to
a different library, OS/400 has no way of knowing that this is the
same object. User profile PHIL knows it has *CHANGE rights to file
PAYROLL/RATES, but when the RATES file (which carries no private
authorities in it's object) is restored to library PAYTEST, how is
user profile PHIL suppose to know it was restored?  How is PHIL to
even know that any object was ever restored?

Authorization is resolved to an object in a library.  If a copy of the
object is put into a different library, you'll have to re establish
authorities to the newly created object.
