File Permission

[H_Sharma]

Hi Experts,

I need to know in windows server 2008 about the below.

1:- to retain the file or folder level permission in restore case is it neccessary to take system state backup? if we take only file or folder backup and we restore it ..will it take the permission as the time of backup  or we need to enable something?

2:- What will happen if we restore it to another folder (Permissions).?

2:-  what in the same case in Unix and solaris?

Thanks,

Netbackup enforce file permissions in all case. On windows share permission are restored as well.

root or the Administrator can always restore files regardless of the file permissions.

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for the answer.

1:-Pls let me know if system state backup is required for the same in folder permission.

2:- I was restoring the folder in the same directory. I could not restore the share permission. however folder permissions got restored.

1: No Shadow Copy Componenets and file permissions are two diffrent things.

2: Did you restart the server service ?
