Hi,
I've run into a big problem.
We have a SAN here that experienced a power outage. When it was brought back up the shares on the drive were gone. Meaning those drives did not exist in Disk Administrator, just raw space. They were remade by reapplying a drive letter to the raw disk space and the drives came back.
But gradually as users began calling over the next few days it became apparent that the permissions on the shares when screwed up. They look okay when you check the NTFS permissions on the individual files and folders but something is wrong.
A person with Full Control over a folder cannot change permissions. A person with Change rights will only be able to read. The only people with Full Access over any folders are Domain Admins.
There are millions of files in thousands of folders on this SAN, rebuilding permissions by hand would be next to impossible.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this?
Is it possible to perform a restore of only permissions from a Backup Exec 8.6 backup? I can find any info on the Veritas site or in the app.
