I need to do a recover of user's home folders for a lawsuit, and give them 
to a legal firm. These users are on a server that is not a client of my 
Networker server; they are on a server that runs a stand-alone version of 
Networker Power Edition. (we use Power Edition at our remote sites). So 
what I need to do is: take a full backup to tape at the remote site; 
recover those files to a shared folder on my LAN (one of my servers is a 
client of the Networker Power Edition, so I can do recovers from there to 
here). Then the legal firm will come in with an external disk drive and 
copy the files.

The problem, of course, is that the files have NTFS security on them so 
that only the user has ownership and access rights. So in order for the 
legal firm to copy the files onto their portable disk, we must seize 
ownership of the files and change the security so that someone other than 
the original user can read the files. This, of course, changes the 
modified date of the files, and the lawyers are complaining.

Is there a way to recover files without the original Windows security? I'm 
told that this is an option in other backup programs, such as ArcServe. 
That might solve my problem, since I wouldn't have to change the security 
in order to be able to read the files.

I offered to just give them the tape I make the backup on, but they say 
they want to copy the files onto their own portable disk drive.

So: anyway to do a recover without also recovering the OS permissions on 
the files?
