I use grsync to copy my home folder to an external drive. This however doesn't keep permissions of the files.
Is there a way to copy home folder to an NTFS partition (to be readable and editable on Windows) without losing file permissions?

Please do not confuse "backup" with making a copy. A backup is SOLELY to save a copy of your data and nothing else.

As long as the drive is connected to a Linux system, the Linux file permissions and ownership cannot be transferred to the NTFS file system. If the NTFS drive is hooked up to a Windows system and accessed over the network by e.g. the SMB protocol, then you can, to a certain extent, retain file permissions and ownership.
