Restoring files without restoring ACLs

The NetBackup client interface on Windows is available to administrators to restore data without restoring the ACLs. Both the destination client and the source of the backup must be Windows systems.

To restore files without restoring ACLs, the following conditions must be met:

The policy that backed up the client is of policy type MS-Windows.
An administrator performs the restore and is logged into a NetBackup server (Windows or UNIX). The option is set at the server by using the client interface. The option is unavailable on stand-alone clients (clients that do not contain the NetBackup server software).
The destination client and the source of the backup must both be systems running supported Windows OS levels. The option is disabled on UNIX clients.

Use the following procedure to restore files without restoring ACLs.
