Hi, thanks for your very useful tool.
I use it to backup folders with history on Windows 7 64 bits's machines.
And It work fine but the NTFS permissions are not copied.
I've tried with extra rsync parameters
--hard-links --delete --ignore-errors --force --perms --acls --xattrs --owner --group
or
--hard-links --delete --ignore-errors --force --perms --acls --xattrs --owner --group --chmod=CHMOD
but I've always the same result.
Have someone a solution ?
Regards.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Rsync is a Windows program, it does not know anything about NTFS attributes and Windows access rights. Use the icacls command manually or in a script to save the ACL in a separate file to a synchronized folder so that you can later restore the ACL if necessary. In addition, there is a robocopy program on Windows that works in a way similar to rsync, only it does it better and more correctly than rsync, now obsolete, but unfortunately only on the mounted disk.
