backup and restore files with ntfs and share file permissions
Can I backup file server with all permissions and restore them to a different hardware with the original ntfs and share file permissions ?
Note : I am using Backup Exec 2012 .
Yes, you would do this with a redirected restore!
THanks!
Because share level permissions are not held by the file system, but by registry etc, then these are restored by the System State and not via an individual restore as such you can get them back for a complete DR of the server as long a you backed up the System State, however for anything less then complete DR you should maintain adequate documentation so that if needed you can correct or recreate settings for shares.
The file system permissions are part of NTFS and can be restored using the options in the restore job properties.
