  2. Copy NTFS permissions to a NAS with Robocopy

    Hello,

    I'm actually using Robocopy to copy a "home" folder with NTFS permissions to a NAS Synology. All theses equipment are on the domain, that will be named XXXXX in this post.

    The permissions on the "home" folder are explicit, and not inherited from the parent folder. Also note that the SYNOLOGY NAS have the Windows Permissions activated.

    The goal is to create a backup of this "home" folder to the NAS with the permissions.

    Here is the Robocopy script that i'm using :

    ------------

    set rep_log=C:\Script\log

    set rep_sync_DATA=\\SRV1\e$\home\

    set rep_sync_NAS=\\NAS-SYNOLOGY01\test01\backup\home\

    robocopy %rep_sync_DATA% %rep_sync_NAS% /MIR /SEC /ZB /NP /XF thumbs.db /R:2 /W:5 /log:%rep_log%\Synchronisation_backup_nas.txt

    -----------

    The Robocopy script works well, and the files are well copied. EXCEPT one. On my "home" source folder, we can find on the permission list the XXXXXX\Administrators group. (explicit permission)

    But, unfortunately, once the folder is copied to the NAS, it change the XXXXX\Administrators group to NAS-SYSNOLOG01\Administrators. This folder take the local domain of the NAS instead of my AD domain.

    Please note that this "domain change" is only applied to this group, and the others lambda groups are not impacted by this strange change. (example XXXXXX\Sales group on source folder will be copied as XXXXXX\Sales to the destination)

    The same script works perfectly if the destination is a USB HDD for example. It only happens if I want to copy to the NAS.

    Any idea to fix this issue ? I faced this issue twice, with SYNOLOGY and with NETAPP technology. Whatever soft I tried to copy (robocopy or others), the result is the same...

    Thanks for your potential help Hi. I need to use Robocopy to copy all email PST files from my Win 10 PC to a NAS Drive :)

  3. Transferring Outlook 2013 accounts, files, .pst, etc to new computer

    Thanks for the help

    Sorry to be so slow, but I am having a bit of difficulty figuring out what to do when I read various articles. What I need is clear, step-by-step instructions.

    This is what i have done so far:
    --I have backed up all .pst files from my old installation of Outlook 2013 onto an external hard drive.
    --Then I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10.
    --Now I am trying to re-set up my email accounts in Outlook 2013 on my new computer.
    --What i did was to copy my saved .pst files and pasted them into the Outlook data folder upgraded Win 10 computer.
    --When I opened Outlook 2013, nothing appeared in the inbox.
    --So I went into account settings and then into data files and clicked on add and then was able to, one-by-one, add my .pst files to the list.
    --Then when I went back to the inbox, i saw all my emails and accounts. But even though all my emails are visible, I cannot receive or send emails because the actual accounts have not been set up yet. I had thought that importing the .pst files would have automatically set up the accounts, but that is not true.

    Question #1: Do I need to manually re-set up the accounts?
    Question #2: When I do this, will the accounts automatically connect to the .pst files?
    Question #3: And did I do this in the correct order? Or should I have manually set up the accounts first so that .pst files would have been established in the Outlook data folder, and then closed Outlook and replaced the newly created .pst files with the .pst files that I have saved from the external hard drive?

    I hope this makes sense...

    Never mind -- I resolved the issue.

    Hi. I need to use Robocopy to copy all email PST files from my Win 10 PC to a NAS Drive

    PC Suite - .PST synchronization

    Hi all,

    I've got a problem with PST sync and need assistance.

    Nokia 6233 (with latest firmware thx to Nokia Software Updater)

    PC Suite 6.85.14.1

    Windows XP Sp2

    Office 2007 (with Exchange 2003)

    USB cable

    Outlook is configured to open my exchange mailbox but use a PST file as default destination (c:\outlook\mypst.pst).

    When configuring PC Sync I get multiple problems :

    my mailbox listed twice,

    public folders listed twice,

    PST file not listed !

    Whatever folder I select then I end up with message "you have not selected all the required folders for this synchronisation".

    Suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks

    Seb
