BA712: Destination doesn’t support copying NTFS attributes or user doesn’t have sufficient privileges¶
| Error code | Product | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| BA712 | BackupAssist ER | BackupAssist ER v1 and later |
Description¶
The selected files will be backed up, but the security attributes and NTFS data streams for those files could not be opened and will not have been backed up.
The NTFS security attributes data stream is the most notable, because it contains a file's security attributes, which will not be restored with the file. These attributes can be manually configured using Windows once the file has been restored.
Resolution¶
The destination could not support NTFS attributes because only the NTFS format can hold the attributes correctly. If you require these attributes, you should use a backup destination that is already formatted with NTFS or format the current destination using NTFS.
