Skipntsecuritycrc

The skipntsecuritycrc option controls the computation of the security cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for a comparison of Windows NTFS or ReFS security information during an incremental or selective backup, archive, restore, or retrieve operation.

If you set the skipntsecuritycrc option to no (the default), performance might be slower because the program must retrieve all the security descriptors.

Use this option with the following commands:
  • archive
  • incremental
  • restore
  • retrieve
  • selective

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all Windows clients.

Options File

Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt).

Parameters

No
If you specify No, the security CRC is generated during a backup. This is the default setting.
Yes
If you specify Yes, the security CRC is not generated during a backup. All the permissions are backed up, but the program cannot determine if the permissions are changed during the next incremental backup. When the skipntpermissions option is set to yes, the skipntsecuritycrc option does not apply.
