  • If Restore without access-control attributes (Windows clients only) check box is unchecked, then permissions will be restored.

    From documentation:

    An access control list (ACL) is a table that conveys the access rights that users have to a file or directory. Each file or directory can have a security attribute that extends or restricts users’ access.

    The option to restore file and directory data without restoring ACLs is available to NetBackup administrators from the NetBackup client interface if the destination client and the source of the backup are both Windows systems. To restore files without restoring ACLs, the following conditions must be met:

    •The policy that backed up the client must have been of policy type MS-Windows.

    •The restore must be performed by an administrator logged in to a NetBackup server (Windows or UNIX). The option is set from the client interface running on the server. The option is unavailable on stand-alone clients (clients that do not contain the NetBackup server software).

    •The destination client and the source of the backup must both be systems running Windows. The option is disabled on UNIX clients.
