497.0. "file permissions on restores for NT" by ZKOS32::COUCH () Mon Mar 17 1997 06:32

Question on restores and file permissions;


    One of the sites that I support has been doing testing on NT restores
    via NSR and are finding that when restoring files the permissions are 
    not being restored and have to be made manually.   

    Is there a switch or qualifier we do not have enabled on the server and/or 
    client side?  Is the account that is doing the restores at question?
    
    The server version is DUnix 4.0 and the NSR server 3.2-03/29  
    the client is at NT 3.51 and NSR 4.2 


    Thanks

	I don't believe your server version correctly supports Digital UNIX V4.0, you'd need 3.2A as a minimum, but should be using 4.2B is the preferred release. (Don't switch to 4.2C unless you get Digital UNIX 4.0A). At the same time I'd recommend switching to V4.3 for the NT client. I don't recall what problems for 4.2A were fixed mainly because I don't recall the problem list for 4.2A. If you look in topic 2 it gives the guidelines for using this notes conference and points one to the kit topics (kits for internal use).

	Also watch out when doing restores on NT, if you have Quota Manager running, and exceed the user's quota when restoring, you get strange permissions. Hans

	sorry, I was connected to the wrong server when I gave you that version the correct version is 3.2a of nsr. I have looked in the notes conference and have not seen any specific note that discribes my question. I have also followed your advice and looked at all the spd and patch info 1-100 and unless I missed it, I found no where that stats going from version 4.2 to 4.3 of nsr nt client addresses my problem. When a recover is being done from the nt client - selecting a complete partition, it does not recover all the levels of permissions. It appears to add the permissions for prived groups but does not add user groups. Upon notice of this problem the user wiped out the partition and grabed the data from an earlier saved partition that was done using SCOPY. The group used SCOPY from the resource kit to copy the partition out as a precaution before the disk movement. After they had issues with the recover from NSR, they call Microsoft support to find out what happened to the user prermissions and from Microsoft support one of 3 things could be the issue - NSR is either 1) not saving this information on the backup and/or 2) not restoring this information on the restore or 3) does not have this support today. We are in the process of upgrading to version 4.3 client, but with over 200 clients in 3 sites...working it. Do you think that upgrading will fix this problem? or is it one of the 3 above? Rc

	There were problems with file permissions with 4.2A that were fixed by 4.3. Please report back on whether 4.3 fixes your customer's problem. If it doesn't, pleaes include an exact way of reproducing it so we can work on it. Thanks/Mark
