9945 » How can a script backup or restore NTFS permissions? 05-Dec-05


Using the corrected version of SubInAcl, I have scripted NTFSBKP.bat to backup or restore NTFS permissions.

The syntax for using NTFSBKP.bat is:

NTFSBKP DriveOrFolder DestinationFolder BKP|RST

Where:

DriveOrFolder      is the drive, or folder, including files and sub-folders, 
                   whose NTFS security you wish to backup or restore. 

DestinationFolder  is the destination folder that will contain /does contain
                   two files that hold backed up security attributes.

BKP|RST            BKP causes NTFSBKP.bat to backup the NTFS security.
                   RST causes NTFSBKP.bat to restore the NTFS security from the previous backup.
NTFSBKP.bat contains:
@echo off
If {%3}=={} @echo Syntax: NTFSBKP DriveOrFolder DestinationFolder BKP^|RST&goto :EOF
if not exist %1 @echo NTFSBKP - %1 NOT FOUND.&goto :EOF
if not exist %2 @echo NTFSBKP - %2 NOT FOUND.&goto :EOF
if /i {%1}=={%2} @echo Syntax: NTFSBKP DriveOrFolder DestinationFolder BKP^|RST&goto :EOF
if /i {%3}=={BKP} goto OK
if /i {%3}=={RST} goto OK
@echo Syntax: NTFSBKP DriveOrFolder DestinationFolder BKP^|RST&goto :EOF
:OK

subinacl /noverbose /nostatistic /outputlog=%F2% /subdirectories %D2% /display
endlocal
goto :EOF
:Restore
if not exist %F1% goto :Rest1
if not exist %F2% goto :Rest2
subinacl /nostatistic /playfile %F1%
subinacl /nostatistic /playfile %F2%

goto :EOF
:Rest1
@echo NTFSBKP %1 %2 %3 - %F1% NOT FOUND.
endlocal
goto :EOF
:Rest2
@echo NTFSBKP %1 %2 %3 - %F2% NOT FOUND.
