If you want to omit security changes from the criteria used to determine
whether files have changed, then you need to use

   SKIPNTPERMISSIONS YES

If this is not working for you, then ensure that you've updated the
correct options file; verify that you've restarted the scheduler or client
after you made the change; and check that the option is not being
overridden from a client option set on the server.

For journal-based backup, a good place to start is the JBB FAQ at URL:

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
