I have a new Maxtor USB external Harddrive I use for backups. I have it connected to one PC that has USB 2.0, and then a network computer that also uses it as a backup. Everything on the backup side works fine, however, when I re-connect the drive (I store it in a fireproof safe) all of the share permissions have to be reassigned, or the network computer cannot access it. The backups happen over the course of hours on every Friday, and I would like to have them as painless as possible, i.e. not having to reassign permissions and the like. Easy backups get done, is my philosophy. Is there anyway to automatically restore permissions when the drive is reconnected, or is this a limitation of XP?
