JSI Tip 9945. How can a script backup or restore NTFS permissions?

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|RSTBKP 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 offIf {%3}

{} @echo Syntax: NTFSBKP DriveOrFolder DestinationFolder BKP^|RST&goto :EOFif not exist %1 @echo NTFSBKP - %1 NOT FOUND.&goto :EOFif not exist %2 @echo NTFSBKP - %2 NOT FOUND.&goto :EOFif /i {%1}

{%2} @echo Syntax: NTFSBKP DriveOrFolder DestinationFolder BKP^|RST&goto :EOFif /i {%3}

{BKP} goto OKif /i {%3}
