Restoring Files without Restoring ACLs

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. In order 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-NT.
• The restore must be performed by an administrator logged into a NetBackup server (Windows or UNIX). The option is set from the client interface running on the server. The option is unavailable on standalone 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 NT 4.0 or later, including Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. The option is disabled on UNIX clients.
