The reason your share permissions are gone is because Microsoft does not
store share info within the directory structure.  Share info is kept in
the registry.  The only way to get the share settings back is to restore
the entire registry.  This is fine if you are restoring to the original
server, but if you are doing a cross-client restore I would recommend
against it because you will overwrite the registry on a completely
different system.

Subject: Share permissions lost while restoring data

Hello All,
I'm running TSM BA Client 5.1.1 on WIndows NT 4.0 server. I was trying
to do a restore of a shared directory with sub-dir and files. I did
choose Restore to original location, data came back fine but share was
not restored, only file permissions were retained. This was performed
using TSM B/A GUI client.

Also, when I tried to restore data from one server to some other server
and when I chose "Restore to original Location" it still went back to
the original server.
So, I tried using "Virtual Node" option in dsm.opt file. It did the same
thing again. When I used "Restore to following Location" and specified
local drive, data was restored without the share being created.

Am I doing anything wrong ?? I guess I do.
Need your HELP to fix this as I'd like to migrate a server in the near
future.

Thanks in Advance,

Prasanna Ghanekar
