DeltaCopy

I'm running DeltaCopy service s Administrator. I can access the folders and files
logged on as Administrator without any problem. I have inherit permission from parent
folder on to propagate to all folders and files created in this folder.

Here's my problem:
When I transfer a folder with files in it all my permissions is inherited or applied
to the folder but not the files inside the folder.

Example: I have a folder name test and in it I have a file name test123. The everyone
gorup have read permissions to the folder, which is inhereted from the parent folder
but once they get into the folder they can't open the test123 text because they don't
have read permissions. Why isn't the everyone group granted read to the file, their
granted access to the folder but not the file in the folder?

Can someone help me with this?

The latest version of DeltaCopy has a new option that is a work-around for the permission
problem.

To fix permissions follow the steps below.

* Start DeltaCopy server console on the target machine
* Highlight the virtual directory on the left hand side of the window
* Select "Fix permissions" from the pop-up menu. If you do not see this option, you
have to download the latest version of DeltaCopy.

I ran into this problem when copying a website from one windows server to another. Even with 'fix permissions' all the files lost their permissions required for the windows web server.

The Fix:
Add a windows system environment variable of "CYGWIN" with value "nontsec". Stop and restart the DeltaCopy Service and you should be in business. This fix will inherit folder permissions while granting the service user full permissions to the files and folders modified.

Go a step further and run on the client:
SetACL.exe -on "\\client_sever\share" -ot file -actn list -lst "f:sddl;w:d,s,o,g" -rec cont -bckp "C:\setacl listing.txt"

Copy setacl listing.txt to serve and replace all "\\client_sever\share" with "\\target_server\Share"

Then run on the target server:
SetACL.exe -on "dummy entry" -ot file -actn restore -bckp "c:\setacl listing.txt"

All the DACL, SACL, owner and primary group details restored

Gotta love setacl
