Rick,
If memory serves right ( and that is always questionable) that is
exactly what used to happen at one point. I believe that Unix systems
still do this, but I would have to test it again. The metadata for a
file is stored in the TSM database. At least it was until Active
Directory made
Steve, Yes that is an option but also would have consequences in a
restore/recovery situation. The clusters are where the company's user home and
group directories live, hence permissions are somewhat granular to say the
least. In a recovery situation they would be lost or at a minimum restored
Have they considered the use of groups? Once the group has access they can add
or remove users as needed.
I understand that the home directories will have the user instead of a group,
but anything that affects the whole tree or a large part should be a group.
One thing we have done in the past
I have had that problem also in the past and found no suitable way to get
around it. We considered just not backing up the ACLs, but that was deemed
unacceptable, so we just had to grin and bear it.
As I understand it, the ACLs are actually part of the Windows files, so there
is no way to
We have an operations and security team that is constantly either moving
client data or changing a file spaces inheritable ACL's, which in turn
results in the next backup recognizing this as changed or new data
and backing it up again. This results in wasted storage and reduces the
retention
