Hey Michael,
I have no idea if this is possible, or if it would work... but if target volume
that you were recovering to was a FAT32 volume and not NTFS then the ACLs
wouldn't be able to be applied to the files ....

Subject: [Networker] Recover files *without* Windows security information?
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?
