NTFS and ReFS file spaces

Edit online

When you back up files on NTFS or ReFS partitions, the client also backs up file security information and file descriptors.

The following file descriptors are backed up:

  • Owner security information (SID)
  • Primary group SID
  • Discretionary access-control list
  • System access-control list

You must specify a file space name that is mixed case or lowercase text, and enclosed in quotation marks and braces. For example, {"NTFSDrive"}. Single quotation marks or double quotation marks are valid in loop mode. For example: {"NTFSDrive"} and {'NTFSDrive'} are both valid. In batch mode, only single quotation marks are valid. The single quotation mark requirement is a restriction of the operating system.
