I've noticed this with Server 2008r2 Standard and Server 2012 Standard.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create folder path on non-system drive (D:) - D:\Folder1\SubFolder2
- Change permission on SubFolder2 (add domain users as an explicit permission - say, read only)
- Shadow Copy snapshot the volume
- Delete SubFolder2
Test1 - I restore Folder1 (using "Restore", not "Copy" or "Open") and I see SubFolder2 is back, but the explicit permissions have NOT been restored. The permissions are inheriting from Folder1.
Test2 - Instead of restoring Folder1 I re-create SubFolder2 and restore SubFolder2 - same results - permissions are not restored, but are inheriting from Folder1.
Now - I can see the explicitly-set permissions if I open the previous version and look at the properties of SubFolder2 - So they DO appear to be part of the snapshot.
How do I get a restore to work WITH permissions?
Thanks
