During testing i realized, that i can only restore files (with
subbackup-parts) to with i have full NT access rights. (I am working local
as administrator)
Typicaly i do not have that rights for private (pst) files.
Is this right?
Regards Stefan Holzwarth
P.S i found the "testflag" issue in a paper at tivoli with the title: (I
lost the link)
"Tivoli Storage Manager"
"Adaptive Sub-file Differencing and Encryption for Mobile and Remote
Clients"
