The Question is:
We want to copy a complete directory tree to another root directory. The way
we usually use is BACKUP. But I cannot propagate the ACE's on certain on the
new location ! I read (with the help online) backup /image should do this (see
faq) but we only want
sub directories!
Which is the qualifier or set of qualifier that I missed!
Thanx
The Answer is :
The BACKUP qualifier /INTERCHANGE is used to specifically EXCLUDE the
propagation of ACLs between source and destination. Assuming you're not
using BACKUP/INTERCHANGE, then all ACEs should be being copied to the new
files. The only other things to remember is to specify the file ownership
with /BY_OWNER=ORIGINAL if you wish to preserve ownership information, and
to ensure that the top level directory is copied explicitly (if it does not
already exist), rather than implicitly. For example:
$ BACKUP DKA100:[SOURCE...]*.*;* DKA200:[DEST...]*.*;*
copies SOURCE.DIR to DEST.DIR *implicitly*, that is BACKUP realises it
needs to create the directory in order to have somewhere to put the first
file, this is done WITHOUT reference to the original directory, so security
information will NOT be copied. To copy this directory explicitly, add an
extra BACKUP command:
$ BACKUP DKA100:[000000]SOURCE.DIR DKA200:[000000]DEST.DIR
$ BACKUP DKA100:[SOURCE...]*.*;* DKA200:[DEST...]*.*;*
Note, for the same reason, when performing a non-image backup of an
entire disk, use:
$ BACKUP disk:[000000...]*.*;* destination
rather than:
$ BACKUP disk:[*...]*.*;* destination
The former copies all top level directories explicitly and thus preserves
all security information.
