#1305 Compress files in "backup mode"
Hello
I would like 7z.exe to have an ability to compress files independent of NTFS permissions, similar to robocopy /B. It should be achievable by sending FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS but it is only usable when one have SE_BACKUP_NAME and SE_RESTORE_NAME “switched on”. Further, it would be nice if 7z.exe could "AdjustTokenPrivileges". This wish is for a command line utility only, 7z.exe.
Use case: Compress all profile/user directories on local computer without having to modify NTFS ACL:s and change owner of folders and files.
Use case: Compress home directories and files on a central fileserver without having to take ownership or modify NTFS ACL:s.
