Is there a way to save file permissions for all files and folders
recursively and restore them later?
alfranze - 28 Sep 2005 19:50 GMT
I don´t know if i understood correctly, if no, sorry me, but i think that
the permissions of a file/folder are recursively for nature, a file have
always the same DACL, then, it has always the same permissions.
But, it is possible to make a code that get/save them and after restore them
without problem.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your posting!

You may need Security Explorer:
<http://www.pparadise.on.ca/Product.pasp?txtCatalog=Paradise&txtCategory=&tx
tProductID=S3C+013C>

"Security Explorer provides an unprecedented level of management
functionality on Windows NT 4.0 and later systems. NTFS, Share and Registry
permissions can be manipulated through a wide array of functions.Grant,
Revoke,Clone, Backup, Restore and Export permissions as well as manage open
files through a simple to use GUI and set of command line tools. Security
Explorer can perform many tasks that the built in Windows ACL editor
cannot. All of this can be done remotely from a single workstation enabling
a high level of flexibility.

"Security Explorer - NTFS Permissions Management made easy!
Security Explorer allows you to change permissions down a directory tree
without affecting current group and user¡¯s permissions. Full command line
support for scripting permission changes on NTFS drives, the Registry and
Shares. Great for web servers, including all versions of IIS on Windows
NT/2000/2003. Backup NTFS permission and Restore after disaster strikes.

try
xcopy "c:\folder" x:\destination /E /V /C /I /G /H /R /K /O /X /Y >C:\LOG.TXT

I belive /o and /x will be of interest to you

This came up just recently in microsoft.public.windows.server.scripting,
Message-ID: <1nlhe1hr5llh3p5icq7deugp83lfvj0l0o@4ax.com>.

See: <http://www.gbordier.com/gbtools/fileacl.htm>. FileACL has a /BATCH
or /BATCHREAL option which produces a batch file for restoration. The
latest version (2.9.0.1) has a COM interface for scripting.
