Hello

SACL are the file/folder NTFS auditing attributes. Copying SACL can be switched-off under profile settings -> advanced settings -> details, the option is called "copy file/folder auditing"

thanks

Do you need copying the SACL attributes or only DACL? thanks

I only need DACLS. I have configured the backup so that this should be the case (I think) i.e. I have checked only copy file permissions [/img]

Does it go ahead and copy the file without the SACL permisions or does it skip the copy because it can not copy the permissions?

If copying SACL is enabled, ViceVersa will error out if they can't be copied if the action to perform if file/folder security attributes do not match after copying is set to ERROR (ViceVersa PRO 3)

I make copies to a NAS. I have not set to copy the DACL. Nevertheless for a few files I get the error, in full:
"Copying file \\?\C:\Users\...\Documents\ViceVersa PRO\USB_NOP\C_Users_mirror_P.fsf <to> \\?\unc\NAS\Public\W7U\W7U-C\Users\myname\Documents\ViceVersa PRO\USB_NOP\C_Users_mirror_P.fsf (17,45KB) (Overwriting) myname[Can not copy security descriptions (DACL) to file "\\?\unc\NAS\Public\W7U\W7U-C\Users\myname\Documents\ViceVersa PRO\USB_NOP\C_Users_mirror_P.fsf". Access is denied.] [ERROR]."

The same error appears when I make a backup to an external USB drive.

Hi, can you post your profile settings here please? The .fsf file is a text file, you can open it with a text editor and copy and paste here, thank
