ACL Handling Settings

To specify how the backup job will process permissions and attributes:

1. At the Backup Repository step of the wizard, click Advanced.
2. On the ACL Handling tab, specify how the backup job will process permissions and attributes:

• Select Folder-level only (recommended) to back up permissions and attributes from folders only. The restored files will inherit permissions from the target folder.
• Select Files and folders (slower) to back up permissions and attributes from both folders and individual files. This option can significantly reduce the backup performance.

If you change the ACL handling settings for an existing file backup job, Veeam Backup & Replication will create a full backup file during the next job session.

3. If you want to save this set of settings as the default one, click Save as default. When you create a new job, the saved settings will be offered as the default. This also applies to all users added to the backup server.
