Environment: LinkStation Mini, LS-WS1.0TGL/R1, Firmware 1.06
Network Type: WORKGROUP
Shared Folder Setup:
Shared Folder Support for Windows and Disk Backup
Shared Folder Attributes: read / write
Recycle Bin: disabled
I want to make incremental backups with Windows XP ntbackup. The incremental backup needs the archive bit set on the file to include the file in the backup. The problem is, the archive bit is only set if the user has full access rights to the files in the shared folder. The standard read / write access rights are not enough and don't change the archive bit.
So I changed the access rights with the XP GUI interface to "full access" for the directory and the files within.
The ntbackup incremental backup worked fine, removed the archive bit AND changed the access rights back
from full access to read / write access :-(. So the next time the file is modified the archive bit isn't set and the file is not included in the incremental backup.
If I change the access rights with the Windows XP GUI it works, but if I try it with CACLS I get an error message.
Are there any hints how to permanently change the access rights to full or do you have a solution or workaround for this problem ?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
From a little research this could be a part of the problem
Display or modify Access Control Lists (ACLs) for files and folders.
Access Control Lists apply only to files stored on an NTFS formatted drive, each ACL determines which users (or groups of users) can read or edit the file. When a new file is created it normally inherits ACL's from the folder where it was created.
And what I saw from wiki cacls might not be what you want to use.
The device is in xfs.
