I use it, and it works quite fine. First, I start fileacl for all drives, i.e.: F:\backup\fileacl\fileacl.exe C: /sub /advanced /owner/batch > F:\backup\acls-c.bat.txt When it's finished, I make a shadow copy of all drives. The only problem is, that you're still not able to backup files which have permissions which deny you to read such files (in Windows, an ordinary user can set the permissions in a way, so that even an Administrator can't open it without changing the permissions first). But that's a general problem with Windows IMO. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
