hi

hope someone can help me.

when we used backup exec we used to be able to restore just the NTFS permissions on files or folders, does anyone know if you can do this in tivoli.

cheers

here is what I found in this forum a long time ago



I do not now any way how to store/restore security information with TSM only

apart

from using special tools.



The one I used to use can be found on www.lanicu.com and could help

you,

if it is worth for you to invest couple of hours (download, read

manual,

install, test, use). As far as I can remember there used to be test

version

donloadable,

fully functional, time restricted.



The scenario would look like that:

1) restore your files(!) along with security information

to another path or another server in the same domain (this is critical)

2) run the iculan tool ("intensive care", I believe)

to save security information of files restored.

This will be saved in plain text file.

3) delete all those restored files, you won't need them any more.

4) edit paths in the text file above so that they point to your

original

path.

5) run the iculan tool to apply the security information from the text

file

to your original files.



This will NOT save you from restoring all file this time,

but you can labor while others are using your file server.

If this suites to you or not, only you can decide.



And, if you are afraid this situation can repeat

, you could use the iculan

for daily saving of complete domain information to text files,

thus be ready for next disaster, then without need to restore files.



Not an easy, but once in use it works like a breeze, - you decide

if it is worth the time and money.



No, I am not associated with the producer company by any means,

I only used to be happy with them in my previous company.



hope it help
 
hi,

I've found something regarding restoring NTFS permissions:

dsmc restore -optfile="I:\TSM\dsm.opt" %your_directory% -test=disablenqr -dirsonly -subd=yes


the problem is that this only works on directories NOT on files. files have to be fully restored.


disablenqr: TSM server will not create a list of directories of files and folders, it will restore files immediatelly.
dirsonly : tells the TSM server only to restore directorys
