Hello all, I am in the midst of creating a backup schedule from a few different servers over to my NAS 3200. The drives are connected via iscsi to the virtual servers. I am wondering if anyone can suggest a way to copy the files without losing the security rights that are set to each folder when being moved from NTFS to EXT3.
The ACLs on an EXT3 volume are not even close to what you have on EXT3 so if you are copying directly from an NTFS to EXT3 filesystem I don;t think there is a way to keep the NTFS permissions.
If you are placing the files on the EXT3 via SAMBA you are interacting with an interface that understands the NTFS ACLs and can store them.
Thanks for your reply. I figured there wasn't a way to copy the files and keep the files permissions. Can you recommend a Samba software that I can schedule a weekly backup with?
OK. I had success running this. It ran for about an hour and a half, which seems normal but it had an error. Log file has exceeded maximum length. You can access log file by downloading system logs. Where can I find these to see where the issue was?
It failed on some files that it did not have permission to copy. No biggie, don't need those specific files anyways. Now how can I copy the files while keeping the security credentials? If I need to restore a file, it will be messed p when it goes back. Can someone shed some light on this samba thing?
