Restoring NTFS Security Descriptors for Restored Files

When restoring files to an NTFS partition, LiveVault Online Backup Service by default restores the original NTFS security descriptors of the restored files and directories intact.

However, you can instead apply the default NTFS security descriptors of the destination location to the restored files. In this case, LiveVault Online Backup Service will not restore the original NTFS security descriptors for the files and directories that are being restored.

To set the restore NTFS security descriptors option

In the security descriptors options section (bottom section) of the Options tab on the Computer Restore form, specify whether to restore the original NTFS security descriptors with the restored files:

• Click Restore the original NTFS security descriptors to restore the original NTFS security descriptors with the restored files. The security descriptors are restored intact.

• Click Apply the default NTFS security descriptors to skip restoring the NTFS security descriptors with the restored files. Instead the default NTFS security descriptors set for the destination location will be used.
