NDMP backup- Files permissions not restored
Hello,
I am backing up Celerra filesystem which is also CIFS share, on my NDMP client properties> apps & module> application information I set the following environment variables
DIRECT=y
DSA=n
DAR=y
DDAR=y
HIST=y
UPDATE=y
then I tried both options NSR_NDMP_RECOVER_DIR=y and NSR_NDMP_DDAR=y
Unfortunately the file attributes aren't restored, any file or directory I restore, full permissions are set to everyone.
any idea what can be behind.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your answer. OPTION NT should be the default value that go with dump command, I am using. I've just restored a directory to its original location and the permissions are restored as well. I was restoring the directory to a different FS, can this be the reason?

Long time ago, and that was with NetApp, I have seen the same and trick there was to use EXTRACT_ACL=T. To be sure what and if it is needed/used for VNX/Celerra, please check NDMP configuration guide for the filer which will contain list of supported variable with associated description.
I guess another question is if you are restoring this back to original position or somewhere else?
