Comparing backup files

You can compare the differences in permissions of two backup files and restore the permissions to their original state. You also can back up permissions on files for which you do not have access. As long as you are an administrator, or have the Backup files and directories user right, you can back up and restore permissions on all files, which is helpful when backing up and restoring a user's home directories.

Using the Browse tab to compare backup files

2
Open the Browse tab.
Acceptable objects are Enterprise Scopes, volumes, folders, shares, or Active Directory® objects. Files cannot be backed up individually, but can be backed up within the parent folder.
4
Select Security | Compare Backups.
5
In the Select Backup files to compare box, browse to locate a path and name the backup file.
IMPORTANT: SharePoint Security module only. It is strongly recommended that root backup objects do not inherit permissions from their parents.
6
To add additional paths, click Add to browse for a path.
Type the full path name in the New Path box, and click Add. Available only in the NTFS Security module.
Click Load to load a previously saved Security Explorer Backup List (*.bkn) file. Not available in the Registry Security, SharePoint Security, SQL Server Security, Exchange Security, and Active Directory Security modules.
