I have recently designed a backup strategy for my company built around RSYNC.
The strategy appears sound for NetWare NSS data and Linux/Unix data as the
filesystem permissions are maintained (though some hackery is required for
NetWare).
However, recently a large amount of Windows data has been added to the project
raising concerns about filesystem rights. The windows data is archived on
NetApp filers running DataOnTap 7 with NTFS security mode. The filers are
presented to clients as NAS, and I can mount these volumes with the samba client
mount -t smbfs (what about CIFS?).
So to the real question! Is there a way to view and preserve the windows
filesystem rights with RSYNC? I am pretty sure I am not able to view them in
the present mount statement as winbindd does not run with samba-client and
getfacl does not show extended ACL's matching windows rights.
Thank you for any insight anyone has.
Regards,
Ryan
