Dear Commvault,

We are facing problem in a restore of a shared folder (within a Windows Server VM).

Data files are restored but not their share permissions.
 

Is there any schedule for share permission restore, maybe from registry level?


Please for your feedback,
Nikos

Hello @Nikos.Kyrm 

When the backup job runs we will include the ACL ( Access Control List ) and you have the choice to restore this or not in the settings of the restore.
This includes the sharing rules of the folders. The only time this is not true is if it is a mapped Drive. 

Can you confirm you have ticked the box to restore ACL in the restore options?

King regards

Hi @Nikos.Kyrm,

 

Do the example files in the shared folder have explicit permissions applied, or do they inherit from the parent folder?

-Did you restore the Shared folder? or just the data files within the folder?

 

As Albert stated above, the ACL will be protected by the backup. So restoring with ACL should restore the files permissions.

 

Best Regards,

Michael


Hello @MichaelCapon  and @Albert Williams 

Thanks for your reply!

Our restore was for a shared folder and noticed that some child folders have lost their permissions after restore.

The restore options was the following:


Can Commvault protect both NTFS and Share permissions?
 

Thank you in advance,
Nikos
